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!

This is something I want to start my day with. Looks delicious, Cynthia. 🙂
Cynthia, you are a genius! My mom always has ground black sesame on hand for making Taiwanese-style mochi for parties and family get-togethers, and I’ve been curious about what else I can do with it. Your oatmeal idea is genius! I’d add a little honey and maybe a pinch of salt, with sliced banana on top. What kinds of toppings do you usually like?
With my black sesame I like to add more nuts and seeds since I don’t like it with fruit but usually I top my oats with all sorts of fruit!
LOVE this post! And your pictures are beautiful! I could only imagine how delicious. OMG must make now!
