Back to normal. Went to bed at 10:26 and up in the sixers to make some pumpkin oats 🙂
- 1/3 cup oats, milk, water
- 1 tiny banana
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1/3 cup pumpkin, stirred in at end
- Cinnamon + Vanilla
- Crumbled Maple Almond Crunch granola plank
- Costco PB
I was actually very disappointed with the new granola planks 🙁 I used to eat these all the time back in the day and they were very soft and crumbly. Now they are sticky and are very hard so that crumbling was very difficult. I had to get a knife out to cut it! It almost tasted stale it was so dry. The company lowered the calories (and probably fat) and that fat is very much missed!
Melted PB fell off!!
Pumpkin Spice + Christmas Blend
Paper time! Then Sculpt class time. Then lunch time. Then paper time. Then pizza time!
Light Delight with TouTou says
It’s a very Pumpkin breakfast!:-)
I love the table setting with candles ! and your glass bowl. that’s a very good shot.
Christie @ Honoring Health says
Sorry to hear the new planks aren’t as good as in the past. I remember you eating those things all the time when I first started reading!

MMM…. I just had breakfast, but now I want some pumpkin oats.

I think your oats look even more amazing with the cool see-through glass and triangular shape. But the melty PB doesn’t hurt 😉
Food Makes Fun Fuel says
Beautiful oats, as always!
Janna says
I wish I could be on your schedule! I wake up so late!
Sorry the pIanks were dissapointing, I saw them at the store yesterday and was tempted to purchase. But I’m glad I didn’t now!

I LOVE how honest your reviews are!!
Sara says
Kath, let me just tell you that you have completely inspired my oatmeal! I have been eating oatmeal in the morning for almost a year now, and had the plain ol’ toppings (milk, butter, raisins, sweet something). I love adding granola now! This morning, I tried the PB for the first time. YUM!!! It tasted like a warm bowl of peanut butter cookie batter. Incredible! Thank you!!!!
Diana(mymarblerye) says
Your breakfasts make me want to eat breakfast all day!
Courtney Worthington says
I love your new comments button 🙂 Not sure how long that has been like that, but I like it, haha! 🙂 And your breakfast make me wish it was morning ALLLLL the tiimmmmeeeeee.
skinnyrunner says

Lu says
Everything looks good. Your egg drop soup dinner from yesterday looks outstanding. I would have wanted that too.
lynn (The Actors Diet) says
oh i’m sad i missed the fattier granola plank. my hubby had one last night and said it was good but really sweet.
Joelle (The Pancake Girl) says
Pumpkin oats are the best!!
Stacey says
Hehe 🙂 Have a fun sculpt class! And hope the other times are fun too 😉
Beth @ DiningAndDishing says
Melty peanut butter is the best part of a warm bowl of oats :O). Gorgeous pic!
Carolyn says
Pizza time sounds like a good motivation to get through paper time!
megan says
that’s disappointing on the granola snacks! sometimes a little extra calories and fat is so worth it!
Nicole (dishin') says
I’m bummed about the Honest Foods bars…they used to be really good and almost cookie like. Too bad they changed their products. That drippy pb looks so yummy!
Ali @ Food, Fitness, Fashion says
Good Luck with the paper!
sarah (ghost world) says
DUDE! i had the same experience with the planks. it tasted stale and old to me, and i was sad that i didn’t like it b/c i trust your recommendations so much! i DO however like the square bars — A LOT! they taste like delicious, only somewhat healthy cookies to me. the almond one has a strong almond butter presence.
Anne says
I love pumpkin oats! Yours look scrumptious 🙂 Good luck on that paper!
Sarah (OC2Seattle) says
Your pics of breakfast are making me think that getting up early instead of eating at my desk may be worth losing a few minutes of sleep 😉
Heather @ Health, Happiness, and Hope says
I actually really like the new planks! If you want them softer, you should try microwaving them for about 10 seconds or so… they get really soft and chewy. My favorite is to pop one in the toaster! YUM!
Jenna says
wow kath! those oats look so delish!

Pumpkin oats makes me so happy in the moring.
coco says
I just realize how to make the glass bowl looks good! (I have one and couldn’t make it look nice). The key is the place mat!!!! 😀
Ashley says
Hi there!! I made pumpkin oats today too!! Actually, last night..they were overnight oats =) So so good w/the Stonyfield pumpkin yogurt + pumpkin puree combo! I don’t think I ever had the Honest Foods granola planks in their older version..I have had 2 with this newer packaging look. I have thought both were just “okay.” Sucks that they used to be better! =( Have a great weekend! Sitting at the airport….off to Ohio and then driving to MI, with the fam, for my grandpa’s funeral. Thankfully, Chris is with me for this trip!
