Oatmeal Recipes

I've made oatmeal just about every way you can make it: overnight, baked, warm and creamy, high-protein, and even savory. These oatmeal recipes are the ones I come back to for easy breakfasts, along with a few that taste more like dessert.

Overnight Oats

I make overnight oats when I know the morning will be rushed. Mix them up the night before, refrigerate, and breakfast is ready when you are.

Baked Oatmeal

Baked oatmeal is one of my favorites when I want to make breakfast once and eat it for several days. Prep it ahead or bake it in the morning and reheat the leftovers throughout the week.

Warm Oatmeal

Sometimes I just want a warm, creamy bowl of oatmeal. These recipes start with the classic and give you plenty of ways to change up the flavor.

High-Protein Oatmeal

When oatmeal alone won't hold me over, I add more protein. These recipes make a more filling bowl without turning breakfast into a project.

Savory Oats

Oatmeal doesn't have to be sweet. Eggs, cheese, veggies, and other savory add-ins turn oats into a completely different kind of breakfast.

Recipes with Instant Oats

Instant oats aren't just for making a quick bowl of oatmeal. These recipes are some of my favorite ways to use the packets I already have in the pantry.

Dessert-Inspired Oatmeal

Some mornings call for oatmeal that tastes suspiciously like dessert. These recipes bring the fun flavors while still starting with a bowl of oats.
