Topping Ideas for Toasty and Oaty Homemade Cereal
Choose a couple (or several) things from the list that follows and either add to the pot to heat before serving or pass at the table for last-minute garnishing.
- Milk, cream, or plant-based milk (try it foamed!)
- Sweetener: maple or other syrup, molasses, honey, or any kind of sugar
- Ground spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, allspice, cardamom, or anise
- Peanut butter, chopped nuts (like cashews, almonds, pistachios, hazelnuts, or seeds); (like sunflower, poppy, or sesame seeds)
- Chopped dried fruit (like unsweetened cherries, raisins, dates, figs, apples, mango, pineapple, or apricots)
- Fresh fruit (like apples, bananas, strawberries, pineapple, apricots, peaches, fresh berries; chopped citrus and frozen berries or mangoes are good in winter)
- Jam, jelly, marmalade, preserves, or fruit compote
- Shredded coconut (even better if it’s also toasted)
