I love oatmeal so thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI am lazy so I oook it and add brown sugar, honey, nuts, raisins etc.
Most of time, I just use the packages.
I tend to be pretty lazy when it comes to my oatmeal, too. Can you really go wrong with brown sugar?! :)
DeleteI love oatmeal! I have it almost every morning for breakfast (usually instant oatmeal, at my work desk LOL). I need to try the overnight oats!
ReplyDeleteThat's a good idea, too! I want to make my own instant oatmeal packets, though.
DeleteI have been craving oatmeal lately too! I need to check out some of these yummy looking recipes. Thanks so much for sharing my oatmeal espresso bites
ReplyDeleteI hope you find a new recipe to love!
DeleteI love oatmeal and eat it often but I am super boring. Will have to try some of these!
ReplyDeleteI'm generally pretty boring, too. Hope you find something to love. :)
DeleteI do love a good oatmeal. Though I had one the other day that was AWFUL. The worst oatmeal I've ever had. I definitely need sweet, not savory!
ReplyDeleteOh wow! I did include one savory recipe because I'm intrigued. I probably prefer sweet, though. :)
DeleteOatmeal is my favorite breakfast in the winter so I’m loving all of these recipes - thanks!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome! Oatmeal is so comforting in the winter, but it can be enjoyed all year. :)
DeleteOmg the tiramisu oatmeal sounds amazing!
ReplyDeleteRight?!
DeleteSome great ideas here!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Elle!
DeleteI love Siracha and would never have thought to put it on my oatmeal! I actually have done a similar combination that you suggested, but with rice. Never thought to do it with the oats! I'm trying it!
ReplyDeleteLet me know how it goes!
DeleteOoh, pomegranate oatmeal sounds great! I love oatmeal and make baked oatmeal in ramekins that I can just heat up in the microwave.
ReplyDeleteInteresting! One, I think I need to buy some ramekins. Two, I've never tried baked oatmeal. I'll have to find some recipes.
DeleteI love oatmeal--I never do much to mine more than just oatmeal and maple syrup! I"m so boring. I do stir in the GLG protein now.
ReplyDeleteCan't go wrong with maple syrup! I did stir in some Cherry GLG last week. It was a little more sour than I was expecting, but since I don't normally like cherry flavor, I was pleasantly surprised that I liked it.
DeleteThis post is perfect timing. I just recently starting making oatmeal one of my staple breakfast meals, and I don't want to get bored with it too quickly. I'll definitely be checking out some of these recipes. Thanks!
