I woke up with a hankering for peach oats like nobody’s business.
I love when I wake up knowing exactly what I want.
Makes breakfast that much better.
Into the bowl went:
- 1/3 cup Trader Joe’s Rolled Oats
- 2/3 cup water
- 1 tbsp. chia seeds
- 1 diced peach
Cooked for 2 minutes in the microwave (adding the peaches after 1 minute of cook time)
When I pulled it out of the microwave I let it sit for 1 minute and then topped it with a big spoonful of Trader Joe’s Sunflower Seed Butter and LoveGrown Simply Oats Granola.
Yum.
Coffee on the side:
I’m in a HUGE baking phase right now…I’m trying to resist making everything in my Cook’s Illustrated cookbook in one day…but that’s a battle I’m not sure I’ll win.
It’s a beautiful day out there. Enjoy!
The insane heat here has kept me from baking – now that it’s under 90, I think a batch of cookies is calling my name!
Seriously, as soon as the crazy heat settled I’ve been unstoppable! Gotta get it all in before the next heatwave 😉
Mmmm, a big puddle of sunflower seed butter! I’m currently OBSESSED with the TJs kind, but unfortunately I live in Canada and don’t have ready access to it :(.
Oh no! TJ’s needs to get their butts to Canada!!
They totally do! I went there for the first time in Boston last month and I was in heaven!
I had peaches this morning too! Did you get your in Georgia? 🙂
Cook’s Illustrated slays me. I can’t even buy the mag right now. I read an interview with a figure competitor who says she likes to bake a lot while she’s training. She can’t eat it… but it helps her or something?! I think that girl is NUTS.
Oh my gosh I could NEVER do that! That’s some serious willpower there…
And sadly this peach wasn’t from Georgia but I can’t wait til I’m there next to get my very first one this summer!
I haven’t seen a peach YET here in CO. I’m waiting with anticipation for some to hit the grocery stores!! Your breakfast has my mouth watering…as always.
Gah! I feel like I should be sending you some! Though I guess they wouldn’t survive the trip 🙁
How have people commented already! And here I am thinking I am the first to post something at 9 in the morning. Oh you early birds. Anyway, just wanted to pop by and say hi and tell you that thanks to you, I have an intense obsession of buying cute bowls and dishes!
Talk soon

Ahahaha – I love it! 🙂 (Sorry to your wallet though, I know the toll that obsession can take! 😉 )
omg I looove peaches.. peaches and nectarines haha I never thought to put them in my oatmeal.. good idea!
Oh definitely try it – they’re THE best in oatmeal!
i really love how your have chalkboard paint on your mason jar.. did you make that yourself!? that’d be such a cool art project to organize grains, granolas and seeds in my pantry 🙂
Yup! I just ordered the chalk pen and labels off amazon 🙂
