welcome friends+ harvest oatmeal.

Hello sweet friends and welcome to my humble blog! I'm Hannah, a  nutrition student at the University of Texas at Austin. I started The Blissful Granola to share with all of you the beauty I find in food, being healthy and feeling marvelous! I've come to love natural food that I know is good for my body and I know you will too! Look forward to some amazing recipes that are perfect for college students, stories about my journey through college living and striving to give it all to the man upstairs.

If you are really interested, learn more about me here.

Today I'll start off pretty light and I'll share with you my recipe for the best oatmeal in the universe, okay, maybe that's stretching it, but guys...I seriously love oatmeal. Not only is it super comforting on those days (I know you know what I'm talking about) but you can also make so many variations! Yay for variety. So, here goes.


For this particular version, I added unsalted pumpkin seeds and unsweetened raisins to the top of my classic cinnamon oatmeal. Everything about this oatmeal reminds me of fall, and ILOVEFALL, so this is a really good thing to look forward to in the morning! 




Fall Harvest Oatmeal 
(microwave method)

1/2 c. whole grain quick or rolled oats (my favorite is Bob's Red Mill)
1 c. vanilla soymilk (or almond milk/whatever you have)
Cinnamon and nutmeg-to taste
Sweetener- like 1/2-1 tsp. all natural honey, 1 stevia packet or raw sugar

Add all of the above ingredients into a microwave safe dish.
Microwave on high for about 2 minutes, if you have a lame microwave like mine, it might need to be more. Remove and stir.
Let sit for about a minute, top with your favorite toppings, a sprinkle of cinnamon and enjoy!

What do you like most about fall?
