Salted Almond, Grape, and Thyme Oatmeal
This oatmeal is cooked with diced red grapes and fresh thyme to make every bite fresh and flavorful. Then, it’s garnished with salted, toasted almonds and another pinch of coarse salt, just for good measure. BAM. The final result is warm and earthy with the perfect touch of sweet-and-salty flare.
Mango Basil Oatmeal
I love basil and I love mango. Don’t mind me; I’ll just be over here adding basil to every type of fruit you can think of.
Peach Rosemary Oatmeal
I’m desperately trying to enjoy as many peaches as possible this August. I just adore that flavor and allllll that delicious juice. And considering my never-ending obsession with rosemary, it just seemed like the perfect experiment.
My hypothesis was correct: peaches + rosemary = happiness.
Peach Basil Oatmeal
Truthfully, I have wanted to make this recipe ever since I made my Strawberry Basil Oatmeal three years ago!! To celebrate the third birthday of that beautiful porridge (July 15, 2013), it seemed fitting to publish its peachy cousin. I think basil pairs well with most fruits, but strawberry and peach are probably my favorite candidates. If you’ve yet to try herbs in non-savory recipes, you are missing out on a whole category of DELICIOUS.
Savory Corn, Blueberry, and Basil Oatmeal [Guest Post]
Hi there! I’m Kelsey (@amindfulvegan on Instagram), if we haven’t met yet, and I’m thrilled to be sharing another recipe with you. This recipe is a take on Lauren’s Sweet Corn, Basil, and Blueberry Oatmeal, but where the original was sweet, this take on it is totally savory.
This recipe came to be when my roommate (Hi Kristin) brought me a gallon of blueberries from her grandmother’s house. I remembered seeing Lauren’s recipe and knew I wanted to try it, since there’s so much fresh basil around right now. I guess I hadn’t actually read it though, because I was definitely expecting a savory porridge. When I did read the recipe and found out it was more of a sweet flavor profile, I played around with the ingredients and made the savory oatmeal you see below. (more…)
Cantaloupe Date Oatmeal with Mint-Melon Relish
These oats are ~classy AF~
This relish is like a dessert pico de gallo, with cantaloupe instead of tomato and mint instead of cilantro. The purpose of a relish is to add a strong flavor to a dish, and this does just that. It can guarantee maximum flavor and freshness, and it’s a fun way to spruce up a simpler oatmeal.
Salted Rosemary Brownie Batter Oatmeal
A few months ago for my birthday, my BFF Kate gave me a box of chocolates from the vegan company Lagusta’s Luscious. One of the flavors was rosemary sea salt caramel, and considering my love of all things rosemary, this was absolutely my favorite of the bunch. Since then, I knew I had to make this flavor combo an oatmeal recipe.

Rosemary Chocolate Chip Oatmeal
Last week, I gave you my Rosemary Chocolate Chip Baked Oatmeal, inspired by one of my new favorite cookies. This should show you just how much I love it (or, perhaps, how quickly I finish a bag of chocolate chips and how quickly rosemary turns into sad, dried-up needles).
Maybe a bit of both. 🙂
I guess this is kind of like the “cookie dough” version of the baked recipe. However, I didn’t use “cookie” in the title for either because 1) I hate long titles, and 2) not that many people hear “rosemary chocolate chip” and immediately think, “COOKIES!!!” Maybe someday.

Rosemary Chocolate Chip Baked Oatmeal
HOLD YOUR JUDGMENT. Hear me out.
Before you scrunch up your nose, you should know that I did not come up with this concept. It’s already a thing. Just ask Pinterest. In other words, many people have already given this baby the stamp of approval, so you have no reason not to try it.
Here’s how I discovered it. My favorite coffee shop, which I have visited over 140 times because espresso is a fundamental human need, recently began selling salted rosemary chocolate chip cookies. There are several aspects of this that grabbed my attention:
- Salted cookies are fabulous.
- Chocolate is wonderful.
- Rosemary is my Herb of the Moment.
- Mmm, cookies.
Lemon Berry Rosemary Oatmeal + Product Review: BetterOats
It has been a while since I put out a lemon recipe. Then I saw this recipe for Lemon Rosemary Shortbread cookies, and considering my recent love for rosemary, I knew this needed to happen.
Lemon pairs well with almost any herb. I’ve already paired it with thyme, but rosemary is my jam right now. This recipe uses the hidden banana trick, and it was adapted closely from my Lemon Blueberry Oatmeal, so if you’re (inexplicably) not into rosemary, you can always just make it sans herb. (more…)
