Today was one of the other days. As we watched people rushing in and out of the breakfast hot spot, the overwhelming scent of cinnamon hit me and I think I may have been drooling more than the dog.
Inspired by the scent of cinnamon, I decided to make a big bowl of cinnamon oats for breakfast. If time allows, I opt for steel cut oatmeal, but old fashioned oats are a wonderful second choice. Today it was old fashioned oats!
Me and Mah Oats
I began by placing half a cup of old fashioned oats in a bowl. I topped the oats with half a scoop of All the Whey cinnamon bun protein powder and half a scoop of All the Whey cup cake batter protein powder.
Oats
1/2 Scoop Cinnamon Protein Powder, 1/2 Scoop Cup Cake Batter Protein Powder
The Mix
I added water and microwaved the oats for a minute, stirring two times to ensure the mix did not overflow.
Creamy Oats
I topped the oats with two freshly sliced strawberries…
Punch of Color
…and served them with a hot cup of hazelnut coffee.
Breakfast
Eating oatmeal for breakfast makes me feel all warm and cozy inside. 🙂 Since the frigid 60-degree Florida weather continues today, this was the perfect fall cinnamon-rich breakfast.
Question: What are your favorite smells?

You and your oats looks adorable!!! It is just as cold in FL as in NY right now!! What is this..

Cinnamon gets me too. Fresh baked cookies are always yummy too!
I think freshly baked cookies tops them all! :o)
I know what you mean about the smell of cinnamon at Panera! I loooove their cinnamon scones. Making a healthy bowl of cinnamon oats instead sounds like a great alternative!
