Sesame oatmeal

What better way than to start the day off with a nourishing bowl of Sesame oatmeal? The ground black sesame in these oats adds a nice touch of earthiness and nuttiness. Plus sesame is high in manganese, copper, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, iron, zinc, fiber and healthy fats!

Happy Wednesday everyone!

Vancouver is entering it’s rainy and stormy “season” and all I want in the morning is a nice hot bowl of oatmeal to start my day.

Black sesame dessert soup is one of my favorite Asian desserts because I adore the nuttiness of it but sometimes I find it to be too sweet for my liking so I thought that adding it to my oats would give me a similar sense of satisfaction!
