Hey guys! Happy Tasty Tuesday!
Did you have something yummy for breakfast today? I had oatmeal 🙂
If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, you know that I LOVE oatmeal! I can have it for breakfast, lunch and dinner and then through some in as a snack, too 🙂
Anyway, I post a lot of pictures of oatmeal in my “What’s on my Plate Wednesday” posts, but I never really share the recipes for my “oatmeal adventures”. A lot of times you can see in the pictures what goes into my oatmeal, but I thought I’d share a more detailed post with you entirely dedicated to my oatmeal obsession 🙂
So, here are my 15 ways to eat my oats!
Bake it!
This is my all time favorite. Usually every Sunday I make a whole new batch of baked oatmeal, then heat it up in the morning and have it for breakfast with some fruit and yogurt.
Baked oatmeal with bananas, blueberries, sliced almonds and yogurt
I also eat it as a snack in the afternoon with some coconut butter on it.
The beauty of the baked oatmeal recipe is in the fact that you can add whatever you want to it! Swap the dried cranberries for dried apricots, add chocolate chips, nuts or whatever your heart desires.
Check out the recipe here.

Overnight Oats
If you know you’re going to have a super busy week when every minute of sleep counts, this is a great way to save time on making breakfast and still eat right and healthy.
On the weekend before a week like that I make my overnight oats for the whole week. Just combine oats and milk (I use almond milk) put into jars and refrigerate. I like adding 1 tsp of chia seed per jar into mine.
During the week – just heat it up or eat cold – however you like it.
strawberries, chocolate chips, sliced almonds
dried cranberries, bananas and sliced almonds
Make Granola!
One of the ways to eat your oats is make granola! That is such a great snack or part of your breakfast, too. Here’s the recipe for the homemade granola I use.
mix it with fresh fruit
add some Greek yogurt
have it on top of some cottage cheese
have it on top of chia seed pudding
And those are my ways of eating oats, friends!
