Everyday Fare With Extraordinary Flair
This Carrot Cake Oatmeal Recipe transforms a decadent dessert into a healthy breakfast. It helps you get your vegetables in early, keeps you satisfied until lunch, and squashes a sweet tooth craving. Dessert for breakfast, anyone?
Special days require cake for breakfast, like birthdays or holidays.
Other days (you know those cold, dark, or stormy winter days), the allure of cake for breakfast is the only thing that will get you out of bed in the morning.…
This healthy homemade Pumpkin Spice Granola Recipe is sweetly spiced, and perfect for quick breakfasts on busy mornings. And it’s vegan and gluten free! I try not to, but every time my pantry granola stash runs low I have a strange sense of urgency to hurry up and make a new batch. For some strange reason granola has that effect on me, lol. I guess I just love having it around!...
This Oatmeal Muffins Recipe combines heart-healthy ingredients like oats and olive oil into muffins that are just sweet enough, aromatic with vanilla, and have a tender crumb. I make a ridiculous amount of muffins. Muffins are the perfect thing to whip up when you want to use up a little bit of coconut milk. Or the last 1/4 cup of a few different kinds of nuts or dried fruit. Or if you have an apple or banana that is past its prime, and isn’t good for much else except baking....
This recipe for Irish Oatmeal with Hot Buttered Cinnamon Apples is the perfect motivation to get out of bed on a chilly morning. And bonus, I share my best tip for how to make Irish oats FAST! During the cooler months, there’s nothing better than waking up to a warm and hearty bowl of oatmeal....
Chewy Cinnamon Pecan Brown Butter Oatmeal Cookies have nutty, caramel flavor notes and a lovely balance of chewy and crispy textures. I went through a phase where I loved chocolate chip oatmeal cookies. I’d add just a pinch of cinnamon (because it’s a classic addition to oatmeal cookies), and use extra brown sugar to give the cookies caramel notes. With a little flaky sea salt sprinkled on top (like my Small Batch Bakery Style Chocolate Chip Cookies), they had a balanced flavor profile and were completely addictive....
Strawberry and Coconut Cream Overnight Oatmeal Parfaits are perfect for grabbing on-the-go for breakfast or dessert. People who know me know are always shocked to hear that I went through a hoarding phase as a kid. It’s true though; I used to have what I called “collections” of basically random junk, including everything from rocks, to seashells, to buttons, to scruffy Barbies that were past their prime. I rarely wanted to get rid of anything, no matter how ugly or nonfunctional it was....
Savory Oatmeal Breakfast Bowls with Smoky Garlic Greens and Chipotle-Honey Vinaigrette is a delicious way to get in a serving of whole grains and vegetables early in the day! I’m really not fussy about my oats. I’ll take them just about any way I can get them: savory or sweet, whipped, steel-cut, made into granola, baked into muffins, and of course in cookie form. But one day I stumbled on a way of making oats that was a bit of a revelation for me....
I have absolutely nothing to say for myself. I first saw a recipe for savory oatmeal on Penny De Los Santos’ blog going on two years ago. Two years it took me to try it for myself. (Bottom line, I need to start working through my “to-make” recipe list faster. The problem is, once I finally make something and realize how amazing it is, it’s hard to keep it out of regular rotation. And thus continues the vicious cycle of not working through my list.)...
Butterscotch Oatmeal Cookies (also called Oatmeal Scotchies and Oatmeal Scotch Chippers) are a delicious pairing of sweet butterscotch chips, nutty walnuts, and hearty oats! Another summer gone, and gosh, it went fast! I remember as a kid, summers seemed to be never-ending. I’d spend hours each day riding my bike, swimming, or exploring, only surfacing to eat and sleep....
Bananas Foster Oats turns a classic dessert into a healthy breakfast! Ok, I confess…I made this recipe a long time ago. (Actually, I made it recently too, but that’s because I make it all the time; I took these pictures when I made this a really long time ago.) At the time I felt like I had just posted a whole slew of oatmeal recipes, and lest you all see me for the oatmeal junkie I am, I was planning to withhold this recipe for a few weeks in hopes that you wouldn’t catch on to my oatmeal addiction. (And yes, now I’ve gone and […]...
