Blueberry Muffin Oatmeal!

I've been gone for a while! I was on vacation visiting my family. I definitely strayed from my typical eating habits but I loved it. I worked out while I was home and let me tell you when you work out without a gym you have to get creative! You can actually find some great work outs on youtube for which you don't need equipment like this one (which we did): Here is the link in case the video doesn't work: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=K-8YS6L7ARU

It may seem "easy" but trust me it is FREAKING HARD.
I gained back about 5 pounds over my time at home which is fine! Now I'm trying to work it back off one choice and one work out at a time. I wanted to be able to enjoy my time at home and if you've ever had my mom's cooking, you know it is amazing! I believe in living well and actually living, not restricting. Don't go crazy, and make sure you work out, but don't deprive yourself during special times.

So I've been on an oatmeal kick lately for breakfast. I think it's the colder weather and the fact that it is still so dark in the morning.  Today I made blueberry muffin oatmeal. You can modify this if needed, for example use peanut butter or almond butter instead of cookie butter.

Ingredients
1/2 c of Old Fashioned Oats
1 c water
1 packet of stevia
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp brown sugar
splash of vanilla extract
1/2 tbsp Speculoos Cookie Butter (Trader Joe's) (I think it gives it a "baked good" taste but you could use almond butter, cashew butter, peanut butter, etc.)
1/4 c fresh blueberries

Instructions: 
Make old fashioned oats according to package instructions. I use the "creamier" method rather than "chewier."  Transfer oatmeal to a bowl.

Mix in all ingredients except the blueberries. Once all ingredients are combined add the blueberries and gently stir them into the oatmeal.

I like adding the blueberries when it is still warm because it makes the blueberries warm and brings out the sweetness!
