Martha's Favorite Oatmeal

Start the day well with a warm and healthy breakfast cereal. A bowl of oatmeal -- or bulgur or quinoa porridge -- is one of life’s great culinary pleasures and incredibly versatile. Use different combinations of spices, sweeteners, toppings, and fruits to customize your breakfast.

Martha's basic oatmeal recipe calls for steel-cut oats, which have more texture than rolled; they are just coarsely chopped, less processed than rolled oats. Serve with milk, cream, almond milk, fresh or dried fruit, honey, maple syrup, or brown sugar -- however you like it.

Pudding for Breakfast!

Unsweetened shredded coconut and almond milk take oats in a whole new direction. When nectarines are not in season, use pears for the topping -- they are just as delicious.

Begin with Bulgur

You may not have considered bulgur a breakfast food, but you should. This hot breakfast is full of protein, fiber, calcium, and vitamins D and B12. Try sliced dates or apple in place of the strawberries.

That leftover brown rice in the fridge could be your breakfast. It's also good to know you could make a delicious gluten-free breakfast for friends from your pantry.

Cardamom Quinoa Porridge

Usually served as a savory side dish, quinoa -- a high-protein seed -- also makes a wonderful and healthy hot cereal. Cook extra quinoa and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator to make a healthy breakfast happen even faster.

Super Fast and Extra Healthy

If you're always pressed for time in the morning, toast and grind your oats in advance for your own instant oatmeal. It's much healthier than the sugar-laden store-bought versions. Bonus: You can create your own flavors, adding anything from nuts and flaxseed to spices -- cinnamon-apple doesn't have to be your only flavor option!
