Recipe variations and add ins:
- You can use any smooth, unsweetened nut or seed butter that you like to make this paleo oatmeal recipe. My favourites are cashew butter and almond butter. Just don't use peanut butter as it is not considered paleo.
- To make this oatmeal higher in protein: you can either add collagen peptides or an unflavoured protein powder.
- For nut free: use a seed butter such as sunflower seed butter instead of a nut butter.

- Storage: store any leftover paleo oatmeal in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Vian I am glad you liked it! Hope you feel better soon! I agree this isn't an every day dish… but once in a while a little sweetness for breakfast never hurt anyone 🙂

Very tasty! I have a cold this morning and really wanted oatmeal, so I pulled this recipe up from pinterest and gave it a try. Not an every day thing (too much sugar) but hits the spot when nothing but a hot bowl of oatmeal sounds good. I put a handful of fresh raspberries on top for a little tart contrast.
