Dark Chocolate and Grapefruit Oatmeal
This recipe is only for those who love bitter. Sweet tooths need not read on.
First, you take a bitter grapefruit. Then, you stir in some bitter dark cocoa powder. Then, you top it with some more bitter grapefruit. If you’re wrinkling your nose, then save yourself some time and just click here instead. If you’re salivating like I was, read on.

Overnight Choco-Raspberry Oatmeal
It’s amazing (or perhaps just frustrating) how being away for a weekend can throw off my blog schedule so much. It’s been six days since my last post! You’d think after a break like this, I’d have some elaborate concoction to share, but alas, this one is pretty simple (but nevertheless delicious!).
My roommies and I went to Boston over the weekend. Considering it’s one of the top three U.S. cities I’ve ever wanted to visit (along with San Francisco and New Orleans!), I was so grateful to have that opportunity. I love my life right now!

Baked Banana Oatmeal & Variations
If I wanted to, I could create ten billion recipes of just baked oatmeal based on bananas. So many possibilities!
I liked that idea at first: more posts, right? However, I didn’t want to look like a cheater. Is it fair to share a recipe for baked banana oatmeal, and two days later, post a recipe for baked chai-spiced banana oatmeal?? Nope. So to be fair, I’m going to consolidate it all into one fantastic post packed with fun ideas! (more…)

Coconut Oatmeal with Strawberries and Chocolate Chips
How do you feel about chocolate chips for breakfast?
Like me, many of my followers are health-conscious. Therefore, I’m extremely curious about the general consensus on chocolate chips for breakfast. Most chips involve a myriad of unwelcome ingredients (ex: milk, sugar, hydrogenated oils). I’ve also seen a variety of brands make their chips vegan and/or “healthier” by using cocoa liquor instead of actual cocoa to flavor the chips. My current stock (from Trader Joe’s) falls into that category, and although it doesn’t necessarily impress me, I prefer it over some other sketchy brands I’ve seen.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Baked Oatmeal
What are your thoughts on sugar?
Personally, I go out of my way to avoid sugar, especially when it’s unnecessary or in large amounts (or both). I find that sugar not only rips my stomach apart, but makes my teeth feel gross and my tastebuds overwhelmed. I’ve learned to appreciate subtle sweetness (like the caramelization of roasted broccoli, for example) far more than the teeth-rotting sweetness of Mountain Dew (yuck).

Variations on Baked Pumpkin Oatmeal
It’s mid-October, and pumpkin recipes are everywhere. If you’re the type of person that loves this, then read ahead with glee! If you were beyond sick of the pumpkin posts on TasteSpotting and Food Gawker way back on September 1, then I apologize. Another (non-pumpkin-themed) post will be up on Saturday! 🙂
Here is a list of possible variations for my basic baked pumpkin oatmeal:

Pomegranate & Chocolate Chip Oatmeal
Got some extra cash to throw around? Buy a pomegranate!
The other day, I saw a fantastic recipe on Pinterest and Finding Vegan for Cocoa Nib and Pomegranate Overnight Oatmeal. I was immediately intrigued, but I knew I wouldn’t be making it anytime soon; my typical budget does not allow for pricey pomegranates!
German Chocolate Baked Oatmeal
I did it! I did it! I’ve been pondering this recipe for months, and it’s finally a reality! Last week, I referenced my list of oatmeal recipes and how many of them were more ambitious, and I was too lazy to attempt them. This was one of those recipes.
Once I figured out the missing piece of the equation (the all-important coconut-pecan frosting), I couldn’t wait to try it out. The other day, I finally did it. (more…)
Neapolitan Baked Oatmeal
As I typed out this recipe, I couldn’t help but feel depressed. That is because I may be peaking as an oatmeal blogger. I’m not sure if I can ever top this one:
This recipe, you see, is so elaborate, well thought-out, and mouth-wateringly delicious that I’m not even going to bother posting the instructions for a single serving. It’s way too much work for one serving, and it’s way too delicious to not share (or, if you’re like me, eat every morning for a week).

Dark Chocolate & Orange Oatmeal
Woohoo! I’m back! It feels great to post a “regular” post again…although I’m still getting used to the lighting in my apartment. You’ll have to put up with that for a while. 🙂
I was a little nervous about how this recipe would turn out. It seemed like a great concept, but would they pair well in oatmeal? Orange is surprisingly bland in oatmeal, much to my sadness. It doesn’t hold up like grapefruit does! However, I really enjoyed this recipe, and not simply because it was my first bowl of stove-top oatmeal in over a week. 🙂 I was able to taste the orange, and not just the dark chocolate. Most of the chocolate recipes are pretty “heavy” because they taste like desserts, but this one is much more refreshing because of the citrus.
