Peach Cobbler Oatmeal

Oatmeal for breakfast. It’s a natural. It’s also natural to want to treat yourself every now and then. This recipe does both. The wholesomeness of oats and wheat germ combined with the dessert-like indulgence of cinnamon, yogurt and peaches will help start your day off with a smile. Now if only the rest of the day would be that sweet.
