For Your Oatmeal
How to Take Your Oatmeal to the Next Level
If you love starting your day with a bowl of oatmeal, these breakfast ideas might come in handy. Try our recipe suggestions to keep this classic favorite exciting and never boring!
Instead of the usual water- or milk-based version, try making your oatmeal with homemade nut milk — you’ll find our recommended recipe among the ideas below. You can serve it warm and freshly cooked, or soak it overnight for a delicious “overnight oats” version, where the oats blend beautifully with the flavors of the nut milk.
Once your oatmeal is ready, stir in a few spoonfuls of nut butter and top it with fresh or dried fruits. Banana and dried cranberries are a perfect match for plain or salted peanut butter. For hazelnut butter, try it with chopped apple and a few spoonfuls of raisins. Our deluxe hazelnut spreads add irresistible flavor on their own, while the vanilla cashew butter has a delicate spiced note that pairs wonderfully with both fresh and freeze-dried fruits. Try it with fresh blueberries, fragrant peaches, or banana and a tropical dried fruit mix.
If you’d like to add more texture to your creamy oatmeal, sprinkle it with one of our flavor-matched granolas. This way, each bite alternates between smooth and crunchy. Feel free to mix and match granolas based on your mood or the season — there’s a perfect flavor combo for every occasion! Top it all off with extra fresh fruit, chopped nuts, coconut chips, cacao nibs, or chia seeds.
For baked oatmeal, soak oats and chia seeds in water, then add blended banana, nut butter, and a pinch of baking powder. Sweeten to taste, stir in some cinnamon, dried fruits, and nuts, top with fresh fruit, and bake for 40 minutes.
You can even go savory! Cook the oats in veggie broth instead of water, then stir in sautéed spiced vegetables and a spoonful of nut butter. Serve with a fried egg or roasted tofu slices, and add fresh avocado for a fully balanced meal — perfect not only for breakfast!
Oats are rich in complex carbohydrates, making them a great choice for diabetics and dieters alike. They provide long-lasting energy without feeling heavy — ideal before a workout. Thanks to their high protein content, oats are a staple in vegan diets, containing all 8 essential amino acids. They’re packed with key minerals like iron, zinc, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, and magnesium, and their silicon content supports healthy bones and connective tissue. Oats also deliver vitamins E and B, helping to maintain healthy skin and support the nervous system. And of course, their high fiber content promotes good digestion and helps with weight management.
