There is no better way to start your day off than with this hearty and delicious bowl of Frothy Chai Spiced Oatmeal with Apple noodles! Also Vegan and Gluten-free!

Do you guys have the most perfect food that you could eat for every meal and not get bored of it? Thats the relationship that me and oatmeal have. I love that fact that you can dress oatmeal up with tons of beautiful toppings or make it simple when you are feeling like a plain jane. You can top it with tons of chocolate and dessert like toppings just like froyo, or you can add pesto, avocado and a runny egg to make it savory. Seriously, oatmeal is the classic black dress of the breakfast world, it never goes out of style!

I absolutely love experimenting with new oatmeal toppings because they always end up in a success! This particular idea came to me on a cold, snowy Monday morning My apartment is sans heat right now, so I’ve basically been wearing a jacket and two pairs of fuzzy socks!

I was craving a nice big and hot bowl of oats that would warm me up and comfort my heart! The idea of a big mug of chai tea makes me feel cozy inside, so I added it to this beautiful oatmeal bowl!

Because I’m always a hangry monster in the morning, I added nuts for healthy fats and apples for extra fiber to keep me full all morning!

I spiralized the apples because everything in noodle form is more fun! Having this hearty bowl of Frothy Chai Spiced Oatmeal with Apple Noodles is sure to get your day off to the right start.

My favorite type of oats to use is Quaker® Oats Old Fashioned Oatmeal because they are the most filling and soak up the most liquid and flavor! So when I was asked to share a Bring Your Best Bowl recipe for Quaker® Oats, I knew I had to use them!

You could always sub in Quaker® Instant Oats Maple Brown Sugar and Original Flavors or Quick One Minute Quaker® Oats! Either way, your bowl will be just as delicious!

All you gotta do is go to Target, gather up all your ingredients, and make this comforting and hearty bowl of oatmeal ASAP! Sounds easy enough, right? And guess what?

You can enter in the Bring Your Best Bowl Sweepstakes to win $250,000 if you create a tasty bowl of oatmeal that has between 2 and 5 ingredients!

Whole30 Avocado Bacon and Egg Hash Brown Waffle Sandwich

January 20, 2016 by Bethany And Rachel 43 Comments

In a breakfast rut? Try this healthy Hash brown Waffle Egg Sandwich with Avocado! It's  paleo-friendly, gluten-free and grain-free!

To be honest, I'm not really a sandwich person. If I had the choice of eating a waffle or an egg sandwich for breakfast, the waffle would win by a landslide. Now I'm not really sure why, but bread does nothing for me. It's bland and doesn't excite my taste buds. With that being said, I really do like the insides of a breakfast sandwich; the drippy egg, the crispy bacon and the classic add-ons like 
tomatoes and of course, avocado.

So this bread dilemma got me thinking. I’m a huge fan of anything to do with potatoes and I make them quite often for breakfast. I’ve been seeing these hash brown waffles all over pinterest, and decided to give them a try.

I adapted the recipe from this one, and was incredibly pleased how they turned out. But my excitement didn’t stop right there.

I preceded to improve my original idea with creating the ultimate bread-less breakfast sandwich. Like seriously, the bread is no match to these crispy hash brown waffles.

You can say BYEE FELICIA to your sandwich bread and make these waffles instead. There is no need for bread ever again on a breakfast sandwich! You might as well just use the hashtag #changingtheworldonehashbrownwaffleatatime
