Almond Butter Berry Steel-Cut Oats
This Almond Butter Berry Steel-Cut Oats is a healthy, delicious breakfast, guaranteed to get your day started off in the right direction!
Friends, I think of the many reasons and obstacles in our lives, and how we can get overwhelmed. I know, because I continue to struggle, usually when it involves too much on my plate.
But first, today I’m sharing one of my favorite plan-ahead breakfasts made with frozen Oregon berries: Almond Butter Berry Steel-Cut Oats. Easy to make ahead, it’s healthy, and a great way to start off the day!
Do you ever feel overwhelmed by either so much to do, or too many worries?
Turning our worries and thoughts to prayers and gratitude is the perfect way to peace.
Instead of being overwhelmed by fear, we can be overwhelmed by God’s goodness all around us!
The beauty of nature. The hope of spring, the overwhelming beauty of prayer and miracles, the way that our days are orchestrated with blessings (both big and small), a love for family, a love for friends who are like family, new wrinkles and gray hairs (and hopefully a whole lot of wisdom that comes with both), true friends (the kind that are in your corner, no matter what), my smallness compared to His greatness, beautiful, exquisite colors of the sunrise and sunsets, His wisdom, His timing … God’s grace.
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He’s watching me :) (Do you see little Haggy leaping through the field? This is his favorite place to go!)
I think if we turn our overwhelmedness over gratitude, we will see our days in a new light.
Almond Butter Berry Steel-Cut Oats
So, in taking the “heavy” out of our days, trying to make them lighter, I’m sharing a delicious breakfast to get you going for the day.
Make the steel oats the night before and store in the fridge. Heat up on stove or microwave!
Top with chia seeds!
Abby made this awhile back, and it’s one of my favorites.
Happy-over-the-hump-Wednesday!

sounds awesome. Great post…I’ve been feeling overwhelmed and “off” the last few days so this was a great reminder.
Loved your post today Sandy!!! I am getting over being sick for the past week and still not 100% yet so feeling very overwhelmed as I look around.
It was just what I needed for today :)
