Wild Berry Oats

Wild Berry Oats

We love starting our days off with this delicious recipe. Oatmeal can be a boring breakfast if you don't spruce it up a little! You can add some local flavor and adventure to breakfast by going out and picking berries. In Colorado, we have great wild strawberries and raspberries up in the mountains. In other states, you might find huckleberries or blueberries growing wild. You can make this recipe even better with some local, raw honey for heaps of health benefits and deliciousness.  The Beyond Bacon Crunchsters add a crunch that is much desired in the mushy consistency of regular oatmeal.
