5 Sweet Oatmeal Recipes

Oatmeal toppings

Fruits, nuts and spices make oatmeal a wonderful breakfast or dessert.

Fruits and Nuts: Baked Plums with Pistachios

Drizzle plums with maple syrup and roast them for a few minutes under the broiler to intensify their flavor. They'll easily transform humble oatmeal into a stunning treat. The same method can be used with peaches, apricots, and nectarines. If fresh fruit is unavailable, substitute with good plum jam. Don't forget to add pistachios for a beautiful color and extra crunch.

Apple Pie: Grated apple, raisins, nutmeg, cinnamon, and toasted pecans

The comforting flavors of apple pie and oatmeal combine for a breakfast that's sure to make you want to get up in the morning. Grate the apple to release the juice and enhance the flavor. Sweet yellow raisins and cinnamon enhance the apple's flavor. Drizzle with maple syrup or honey to taste. To prevent the apple from browning too quickly, stir in lemon juice, which will also add a pleasant note.

Greek Morning: Figs, Honey, Walnuts, Thyme, and Flaked Salt

These flavors will make you feel like you're on a Greek island. Fresh thyme and sea salt add a pleasant, unusual flavor to the sweet topping. If you can find honeycomb, add a small piece. If you don't have fresh figs, you can use dried ones: soak them in water overnight, then pat dry and chop them before adding them to the oatmeal.

Almond Feast: Almond milk, almond butter, raspberries, and chia seeds

Adding almond butter to your morning oatmeal gives you a rich, nutty flavor that's especially delicious with almond milk. Chia seeds add a light, crunchy texture and omega-3 fatty acids, while raspberries add a vibrant flavor and color. This combination is so delicious and filling, you'll want to eat it every day.

Tropical dream: passion fruit, banana, mango and macadamia nuts

Passionfruit is a surefire way to elevate the traditional banana topping for oatmeal. Add slices of fresh mango and a pinch of crushed macadamia nuts for a tropical beach experience.
