When I heard the news that IHOP was introducing, with much fanfare, a new lineup of oatmeal to its menu, I thought surely the culinary team had heard about my new preparation of that classic hot cereal.
I'm sure I'm not the first to add some bacon bits to my morning bowl of mush, but I've never come across it on any menus in our bacon-obsessed nation. My spontaneous combo was kind of a tribute to my late grandfather, who started every day with hot cereal, and then had one piece of bacon and one egg for his second breakfast, about 10. Papa was no food-as-fuel kind of eater. A very active guy until he passed away at age 97, he enjoyed his meals immensely, even if he didn't have an adventurous palate.
Especially during the cold weather months, oatmeal is a go-to choice for breakfast, but I'm always hungry a few hours later. So, I thought, why not combine elements of the first and second breakfasts? To my bowl of oatmeal, I added pecans, maple syrup and, yes, a half a piece of bacon. So, it was still plenty healthy.
It worked! That mashup of sweet and savory, whole grains and a smidge of something crispy and satisfying, got me through to lunch.
Was a little bit surprised that it's not offered on IHOP's new lineup. It really should be.
