This is an incredibly difficult list to maintain. For the longest time, I struggled to grasp what “favorite” meant. There are recipes I’m really proud of (like my Neapolitan Baked Oatmeal), but these aren’t necessarily the same recipes I make again and again. Should I pick the recipes that rocked my socks once or twice, or should I pick my standard “lovers” that I run to again and again when I’m craving some reliably delicious oatmeal?
In the end, I went with the latter. These are the oatmeal recipes that have not only wowed me once, but have been made multiple times to please my stomach! Warning: due to my ever-changing preferences, this list changes all the time! One thing that will always remain present on this list: peanut butter.
My Top 10 Favorite Oatmeal Recipes!
(last updated 11/13/2016)
Honorable Mentions: Almond Joy Oatmeal, Apple & Veggie Sausage Oatmeal, Mango-Coconut Overnight Oatmeal with Puffed Wild Rice, Strawberry Shortcake Baked Oatmeal
10. Thin Mints Oatmeal
This oatmeal is way healthier than it looks and sounds. It’s sweetened by a mashed banana, but you would never know it! Close relatives: Peppermint Brownie Baked Oatmeal, Brownie Baked Oatmeal with Mint Avocado Frosting
9. Sweet Potato & Soyrizo Oatmeal
One taste of this and I died of happiness. Best. Savory. Oatmeal. Close relatives: Savory Butternut Squash Oatmeal, Herbed Pumpkin & Leek Oatmeal
8. White Chocolate Macadamia Baked Oatmeal
Complete, total, absolute, wonderful, unbelievable perfection. The
only reason this isn’t higher on the list is because I have a personal
preference for stove-top oatmeal. IT. TASTES. JUST. LIKE. THE. COOKIE. Close relatives: the entire cookie collection
7. Mocha Brownie Batter Oatmeal with Almond Butter
As if brownie batter wasn’t already amazing, I added
espresso powder and swapped in almond butter. WHAT. If my sensitive system could handle chocolate and coffee better, I would eat this EVERY MORNING. Close relatives: Brownie Batter Oatmeal, all the brownie baked oatmeals
6. Nutty ‘Nana Berry Oatmeal
I love this with strawberries, but no matter which berry
you choose, this oatmeal is easy and delicious.
5. Salted Maple, Apple, & Pecan Oatmeal
Look how creamy! This recipe is a cozy and sophisticated play on classic fall flavors. The sweet-and-salty game is strong in this one. Close relatives: Apple Pie Steel Cut Oatmeal, Maple Sweet Potato Oatmeal, Orange Maple Pecan Oatmeal
4. Peach & Almond Butter Oatmeal
Peaches are my favorite fruit. Almond butter is caviar for
poor people. This is obviously perfection.
3. Salted Rosemary Brownie Batter Oatmeal
Inspired by a rather obscure but fabulous cookie, this rosemary-chocolate combination is proof that rosemary is the QUEEN OF HERBS. Close relatives: Rosemary Chocolate Chip Baked Oatmeal, Rosemary Chocolate Chip Oatmeal
2. Banana PB&J Oatmeal
It makes sense that my favorite sandwich is also one of my favorite oatmeals. Close relatives: PB&J Oatmeal with Apple, PB&J Baked Oatmeal
1. Cardamom Fudge Oatmeal
A spin-off my (former #1) recipe, Fudgy Banana & Peanut Butter Oatmeal, this cardamom-spiced oatmeal goes great with chocolate peanut butter, almond butter, coconut-peanut butter, and more. It’s lovely with fresh strawberries or pomegranate arils. I eat this 4-6 days a week. I. Love. This. Recipe. Close relatives: Fudgy Banana & Peanut Butter Oatmeal, Sweet Potato Fudge Oatmeal, Berry Blackout Oatmeal
