Pumpkin, Brown Sugar, and Fig Oatmeal

Typically, when I want a brown sugar flavor, I just use a drop of molasses. However, I recently bought brown sugar to make (a veganized version of) Allison’s Chocolate Chip Cookies. Since I have it, I’ve been playing around with it in my oatmeal.

Persimmon, Cardamom, and Pistachio Oatmeal [Guest Post]

Hi there! If we haven’t met yet, my name is Kelsey, aka @amindfulvegan on Instagram. When Lauren said she was going to take a little bit of time off, I offered to help keep the oatmeal content coming with a guest post. I can’t say this is as exciting as Christine’s oatmeal packet pancakes, but it’s still pretty tasty.

This recipe features one of my favorite fruits: persimmons. Their season is painfully short, but persimmons are so delicious. They pair well with a lot of flavors: you can get fancy with matcha oatcakes with maple persimmon compote or keep it super simple with persimmon cinnamon-raisin oats (both Lauren’s recipes, of course).

Maple, Kabocha, and Rosemary Steel Cut Oatmeal

Regular readers already know my passion for this pine-flavored herb. I will combine it with just about anything when it comes to oatmeal: grapes, pineapple, peaches, and even chocolate. Combining it with squash probably makes the most sense out of all these, considering rosemary and squash are both classic fall flavors!

Kabocha-Pomegranate Steel Cut Oatmeal with Pecans and Tahini

In the past year, I have reserved steel cut oats for savory recipes (it’s like a risotto!), but here I went all sweet. I’m pretty darn pleased with the result, too.

Cran-Strawberry Oatmeal

This year, I have become increasingly interested in oatmeal with strawberries cooked in. In the past, I have always preferred using strawberries as a topping only; I loved their cool, sweet freshness. However, I may be starting to prefer them cooked in.

Persimmon and Red Bean Paste Oatmeal

Beans?! In oats?!?!

While it may seem trippy to put beans in a dessert, red bean paste is really just a sweet paste, but it does (intentionally) retain its ~bean~ flavor. (Scroll down to learn about what red bean paste is.)

Persimmon Cinnamon-Raisin Oatmeal

I had other plans for this week’s recipes, but when I walked into my produce market and spotted the newly stocked persimmon, I scrapped all those ideas immediately.

Persimmon! It’s been so long! Why must you hide for 80 percent of the year?

Salted Tahini Fudge Oatmeal

I’ve been flying through jars of tahini. I think its best use is in salad, but I also love it on oatmeal from time to time.
