Coffee Pot Breakfast

Oatmeal is one of my absolute favorite foods. Lately I’ve been buying steel cuts oats at home and cooking them with 40 calorie per serving vanilla almond milk. Delish! When I’m on travel I cant quite indulge in the slow cooking oats, but I can still have yummy oatmeal.

I recently discovered BetterOats Oat Fit instant oatmeal www.betteroats.com. The flavor types are amazing ranging from chocolate to fruits & berries to maple and spices. I love the Oat Fit Maple & Brown Sugar. With just 100 calories per pouch it’s the perfect hotel room breakfast – it’s great-tasting and satisfying.

Making the oatmeal with just the in-room coffee pot is a breeze. Currently I’m staying at a Fairfield Inn & Suites property and all my room has in terms of a ‘kitchen’ is a coffee maker on the bathroom counter. After making my coffee (I do have priorities!) I removed the coffee basket and put about ½ cup of water in to machine (I like my oatmeal thick and gooey) to heat it up. I use a two cup process: pour the oats in to an empty cup and heat the water in a second cut. Once the water is hot, pour it in to the oats and voila! Oatmeal. Of course if you want, you could just have the water drip from the coffee pot directly on to the oats and then stir when done.

Here are the pics from my breakfast this morning:

I usually have a spoon in my purse (I admit, it’s an odd purse item!) but if I don’t, a coffee stir stick can work in a pinch. Makes eating the oatmeal more challenging, but it is possible.
