Peach Pie Proats

Another Saturday morning, another pre-run oatmeal experiment. I swear, sometimes I get lost thinking about the next oatmeal combination I want to try... If you can't tell, I love versatility; I eat a lot of the same things but in so many different ways. I had some peaches in my refrigerator this week (sis loves them), and I noticed some of them were starting to get a little soft. Gotta say, I think they're better that way, but they were probably on the verge of needing to get tossed if I didn't act soon. I could NOT let those puppies go to waste.

I stood in front of the fridge for a while contemplating... do I want my delicious apple baked oats from a few weeks ago? Do I want pumpkin pie oats again? Hmmm, but these peaches... They sound good too. I bit the bullet, and decided peaches were the answer. I had ten miles to kill that day and those miles weren't gonna run themselves!

Deciding which way I wanted to go was the hard part. The rest was easy. Caramelized peaches, vanilla protein, broiled coconut sugar. DEFINITELY THE ANSWER.
