Oatmeal combined with the buttery goodness of avocados yields one of the tastiest and healthiest appetizers. Oatmeal can become boring pretty fast if eaten every morning the same way.
I love to experiment with different flavors and ingredients. I really wanted to use Avocados in ways other than dip/guacamole, smoothie, or paratha. Since guacamole has such a creamy texture, I decided to use that to bind the oatmeal and flavor it with very basic spices.
The result was healthy, tasty creamy, soft appe made in a few drops of ghee/oil. I loved the slightly soft green color of the appe that came from the Avocados.
Enjoy it as a healthy breakfast,appetizer or as an accompaniment to your tea. It tastes great as is or with chatni.
