Everyday Fare With Extraordinary Flair
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....
Spiced Maple Peach Oat Crisp is easy to whip up and perfect for brunch or dessert on a lazy summer day. There are few things that say late summer better than a perfectly ripe peach with its intensely juicy sweetness. If summer flavor could be bottled, it would be liquid gold peach juice that’s the color of sunshine....
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 make a ridiculous amount of muffins. They’re the perfect thing 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 isn’t good for much else except baking....
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.)...
Homemade Pumpkin Spice Granola is perfect for keeping on hand for quick breakfasts throughout the week! 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. I have no idea why this is, but for some strange reason granola has that effect on me…I guess I just love having it around....
Butterscotch Oatmeal Cookies (also called Oatmeal Scotchies and Oatmeal Scotch Chippers) are a delicious pairing of sweet butterscotch, 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. And when summer ended and school started up again I actually felt refreshed…like I had had a sufficient break. Not so anymore; summers these days are a fleeting moment or a passing glance....
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 […]...
