Why Oatmeall in Fall?

There’s nothing better than starting your day with a healthy, nourishing, and filling bowl of oatmeal on a chilly Fall morning. And while there’s no lack of breakfast foods you can explore, you’ll almost always find simple comfort in oatmeal when it’s fall.

Oatmeal is great as a Fall breakfast food for many reasons. First, it is super versatile. You can use it to make:

Overnight oats
Oatmeal breakfast bowl
Healthy oatmeal breakfast cookies
Baked Oatmeal
Oatmeal Breakfast bars

Oatmeal is also an incredible source of many important micronutrients that your body needs, which is why it is a great food to kick start your day with. It is also a brilliant source of soluble fiber which improves your digestive health and strengthens your body’s immune response.

But that’s not all. Oatmeal also has tons of other health benefits to offer too including being good for breastfeeding milk supply.
