Sweet Potato and Soyrizo Oatmeal

Let’s all take a moment to acknowledge just how fantastic soyrizo (aka soy chorizo) is.

sweet-potato-soyrizo-oatmeal-015

For those of you who aren’t familiar with it, it’s the vegetarian version of chorizo, a Spanish sausage. My first experience with it happened at my favorite restaurant in Newark, Elbow Room (now closed). It’s a specialty mac and cheese joint, and it’s the cutest little thing. They have this ridiculous vegan queso mac, made with a housemade vegan cheese sauce (meant to replicate queso fondido), soyrizo, avocado, cilantro, and fried tortilla strips. I was allllllll about that place last year.

Mango Persimmon Oatmeal

Bliss. If I could sum up my experience of the last two weeks, it has been bliss. My world has felt out of control for three or four years now, ever since I strapped on the weight of teaching on my shoulders. To every teacher out there that is in the trenches and powering through, I praise you. You have more strength than I do.

Mango Persimmon Oatmeal #vegan

Or . . . more likely, the intense extroversion required to be an effective teacher wore my introverted heart out. Either way, I feel free. Weightless. (more…)


10 Herb-tastic Oatmeals for Spring Produce!

When I started The Oatmeal Artist at the beginning of 2012, cooking was still pretty new to me. I had been cooking “clean” recipes from scratch for about a year, but my palette was still a baby. You can see that by the tame recipes I created: Chocolate Banana, Thin Mints, Blueberry Muffin, etc.

sweet-potato-soyrizo-oatmeal-012

One of my favorite parts of learning to cook was my introduction to herbs. I thought I didn’t like them, but that’s because I had only had dried herbs in a jar. Once you experience the earthy, flavorful hit of a fresh herb, there’s no going back. (more…)


Sweet Potato, Almond Butter, and Raisin Oatmeal

When I first started publishing oatmeal recipes, I used raisins in almost everything. They were cheap and predictable, making them an easy addition to nearly everything I tried: Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal, Banana Bread Oatmeal, Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal, Zucchini Bread Oatmeal, Pumpkin Banana Oatmeal, etc. Raisins all around!

Sweet Potato, Raisin, and Almond Butter Oatmeal (2)

I realized recently that I had kind of forgotten about them. My carton of them had been pushed to the back of my cupboard, and I rarely dragged them out. Something about today’s recipe made me recall these good ol’ raisin days, and I decided to bring them back into my life. 🙂

My Favorite Recipes

This is an incredibly difficult list to maintain. For the longest time, I struggled to grasp what “favorite” meant. There are recipes I’m really proud of (like my Neapolitan Baked Oatmeal), but these aren’t necessarily the same recipes I make again and again. Should I pick the recipes that rocked my socks once or twice, or should I pick my standard “lovers” that I run to again and again when I’m craving some reliably delicious oatmeal?

In the end, I went with the latter. These are the oatmeal recipes that have not only wowed me once, but have been made multiple times to please my stomach! Warning: due to my ever-changing preferences, this list changes all the time! One thing that will always remain present on this list: peanut butter.

My Top 10 Favorite Oatmeal Recipes!

Honorable Mentions:  Almond Joy OatmealApple & Veggie Sausage Oatmeal, Mango-Coconut Overnight Oatmeal with Puffed Wild Rice, Strawberry Shortcake Baked Oatmeal

10. Thin Mints Oatmeal

Thin Mints Oatmeal by the Oatmeal Artist

This oatmeal is way healthier than it looks and sounds. It’s sweetened by a mashed banana, but you would never know it! Close relatives: Peppermint Brownie Baked Oatmeal, Brownie Baked Oatmeal with Mint Avocado Frosting

9. Sweet Potato & Soyrizo Oatmeal

sweet-potato-soyrizo-oatmeal-015

One taste of this and I died of happiness. Best. Savory. Oatmeal. Close relatives: Savory Butternut Squash Oatmeal, Herbed Pumpkin & Leek Oatmeal

8. White Chocolate Macadamia Baked Oatmeal

white-2Bchocolate-2Bmacademia-2B-283-29

Complete, total, absolute, wonderful, unbelievable perfection. The
only reason this isn’t higher on the list is because I have a personal
preference for stove-top oatmeal. IT. TASTES. JUST. LIKE. THE. COOKIE. Close relatives: the entire cookie collection

7. Mocha Brownie Batter Oatmeal with Almond Butter

 mocha oatmeal with almond butter (3)

As if brownie batter wasn’t already amazing, I added
espresso powder and swapped in almond butter. WHAT. If my sensitive system could handle chocolate and coffee better, I would eat this EVERY MORNING. Close relatives: Brownie Batter Oatmeal,  all the brownie baked oatmeals

6. Nutty ‘Nana Berry Oatmeal

nutty-nana-berry-008

I love this with strawberries, but no matter which berry
you choose, this oatmeal is easy and delicious.

5. Salted Maple, Apple, & Pecan Oatmeal

salted-apple-maple-pecan-005

Look how creamy! This recipe is a cozy and sophisticated play on classic fall flavors. The sweet-and-salty game is strong in this one. Close relatives: Apple Pie Steel Cut Oatmeal, Maple Sweet Potato Oatmeal, Orange Maple Pecan Oatmeal

4. Peach & Almond Butter Oatmeal

peach-2Band-2Balmond-2Bbutter-2Bnew-2B-2-

Peaches are my favorite fruit. Almond butter is caviar for
poor people. This is obviously perfection.

3. Salted Rosemary Brownie Batter Oatmeal

Salted Rosemary Brownie Batter Oatmeal by the Oatmeal Artist #Vegan

Inspired by a rather obscure but fabulous cookie, this rosemary-chocolate combination is proof that rosemary is the QUEEN OF HERBS. Close relatives: Rosemary Chocolate Chip Baked OatmealRosemary Chocolate Chip Oatmeal

2. Banana PB&J Oatmeal

PB and J Oatmeal with Banana - The Oatmeal Artist
It makes sense that my favorite sandwich is also one of my favorite oatmeals. Close relatives: PB&J Oatmeal with Apple, PB&J Baked Oatmeal

1. Cardamom Fudge Oatmeal

Cardamom Fudge Oatmeal by the #OatmealArtist #Vegan

A spin-off my (former #1) recipe, Fudgy Banana & Peanut Butter Oatmeal, this cardamom-spiced oatmeal goes great with chocolate peanut butter, almond butter, coconut-peanut butter, and more. It’s lovely with fresh strawberries or pomegranate arils. I eat this 4-6 days a week. I. Love. This. Recipe.  Close relatives: Fudgy Banana & Peanut Butter Oatmeal, Sweet Potato Fudge Oatmeal, Berry Blackout Oatmeal

Lemon, Thyme, and Honey Oatmeal

The more I experiment with savory oatmeal, the more I accept that I prefer recipes that are “half savory.” The Greek Oatmeal and Pizza Porridge recipes are both great…but I’d much rather have the sweet, velvety texture of Butternut Squash Oatmeal or the perfect flavor pairing of Sweet Potato and Soyrizo Oatmeal.

lemon-thyme-and-honey-oatmeal-008

I suppose that’s why I’ve somewhat recently been inspired by dessert recipes that feature herbs, like this sorbet recipe. It allows me to combine my love of fruity oatmeal with flavors that are associated with more savory dishes.

Best of 2013

See also: Best of 2012

One more year has passed, which means my blog is just over a year and a half old now. Like I said a year ago, I can’t believe I was able to stick with something for this long! Can you believe I’ve been pumping two to three original oatmeal recipes every week for a year and a half? How is that even possible? How is it possible that I still have ideas left?

Much to my great pleasure and gratitude, 2013 was a great year for me. I began my partnership with Country Choice Organic, started my Facebook fan page, introduced the Oatmeal Enthusiasts series, was featured on the Huffington Post and Buzzfeed, celebrated my first FoodGawker acceptance, and–last but not least–this happened.

With all of that peppered throughout my exhausting first and second school year in urban education, my life seems pretty satisfying right now. Being tired and stress most of the time, it’s not until moments like this that I actually have time to reflect on how great my year has been–with many thanks to this site and all of you for supporting it!

Here are my most popular OR personal favorites from 2013. I had to change the categories a bit from last year (because “Best Stove-Top Oatmeal” is way too overwhelming of a competitive field!). I also added categories (because I’m the boss and I can do that). Feel free to comment with recipes you think are missing from the list. 🙂 I love hearing your thoughts on this!

1. Fan Favorite Recipe
Brownie Batter Oatmeal: I love this oatmeal (although I tend to make the peanut butter version), and–by making it the most-viewed recipe posted in 2013–you all demonstrated that you share this love! Not only did it receive tons of views, but it also gathered double the amount of comments of my other popular recipes.

2. Pinterest Queen
Chocolate Banana Overnight Oatmeal: I was originally horrified when this recipe became a hit because I hated the photos for it. I was mortified every single time I saw it repinned. Luckily, I found the time to redo them, and now I love sharing this recipe with others! This oatmeal received the most “repins” than any other recipe born in 2013 (although it may never catch up with Peanut Butter and Banana Baked Oatmeal, which currently has over 500 repins!).



3. Best Steel-Cut Oatmeal
Pumpkin Pie Steel-Cut Oatmeal: Of course a pumpkin pie recipe made it on the list–you all proved this year with the mega hits my other recipes received from you that you love pumpkin pie oatmeal! I always loved all of the pumpkin pie recipes, but something was truly special about the steel-cut version. I made it for my roommates, and they all moaned in appreciation as they ate it. When I tried it myself, I had to agree that it was absolutely decadent–except it was sweetened entirely with dates!






4. Best Baked Oatmeal
Pecan Pie Baked Oatmeal: This oatmeal received more page views and repins than any other baked oatmeal recipe in 2013. I can understand why; it’s fabulous. However, I’ll be the first to admit that it’s more of a dessert than a breakfast, but hey, there are oats, so…fiber? 🙂




5. Best Savory Oatmeal

Sweet Potato & Soyrizo Oatmeal: This combination is incredible. It’s one of the few savory recipes that I’ve made multiple times. I didn’t even look up how many views, comments, or pins my savory recipes received this year; I simply made the executive decision that this one is the best. Deal with it. 🙂

6. Best Stupid-Easy Oatmeal
Applesauce Oatmeal: I scared some readers off when I said the words “homemade applesauce,” but seriously…I made it in the microwave. I sliced the apples, added some cinnamon and other spices, and steamed in a covered container. After a couple minutes, I took it out and mashed it up easily. All that was left to do was stir it into the eagerly awaiting oats. EASY.
7. Best Labor-Intensive Oatmeal
Grilled Peach Steel-Cut Oatmeal: I had to grill a GD peach, for Quaker’s sake!

8. Best Non-Porridge Recipe

Banana Chocolate Chip Oatcakes: The fact that I was able to eat these while suffering from food poisoning tells you how delicious they are. I fought through the pain for each decadent bite!

9. Best Unusual Oatmeal

Strawberry Basil Oatmeal: I loved seeing how many of you were brave enough to try this one (and you all agreed that the results were fabulous)! Oh yeah, and if you added the optional balsamic reduction, you are officially an honorary Oatmeal Enthusiast.



10. Best Muesli

Cookie Dough Muesli: Personally, I’d rather have Autumn Muesli, but my readers showed their preference loud and clear by giving Cookie Dough Muesli the most views, comments, AND repins. Additionally, I also received a slew of Tweets from readers who had tried and loved this recipe. Fine, Cookie Dough wins. 🙂

    **You can also find hundreds of other oatmeal recipes (as well as tons of other meatless recipes) on my Pinterest account!  You can also like The Oatmeal Artist on Facebook. Thanks!

    10 Oatmeal Recipes for Thanksgiving Leftovers

    I know I haven’t posted a new recipe since Tuesday, but I decided it was vital for me to spend this week relaxing and exploring the city with my sister, who is visiting from Minnesota. Instead of posting a new porridge today, I created a round-up of all the recipes you could make using some of your potential leftovers from Thanksgiving (which, by the way, is my FAVORITE holiday…even as a herbivore!).

    I have so much to be thankful for…seemingly more so than previous years! I’m thankful to have “made it” in this city. I’m thankful to finally be a teacher. I’m thankful for plant-based options popping up more and more at restaurants around the city. I’m thankful for peanut butter on a genuine NY bagel. I’m thankful for this blog and the joy it brings me every week, as well as the love and support given to me by Country Choice Organic. I’m thankful for sauteed kale (because JEE-ZUSS it’s so good). I’m thankful for warm fleece jackets, hot tea, electric blankets, and space heaters. I’m thankful for my family, friends, and everyone who reads my blog (YOU)!

    Recipes for Thanksgiving Leftovers

    Do you have leftover chestnuts sitting in the fridge? I don’t know about you,

    but I don’t know many uses for chestnuts. Putting them into a creamy, chocolaty porridge
    seems like the perfect solution to me!

    Pumpkin, Apple, & Cranberry Oatmeal

    Didn’t use all the pumpkin puree for the pies? Mix it into this recipe! You could use

    either dried or fresh cranberries, or (my new personal favorite) cranberry sauce!

    Okay, fine, so it’s not “oatmeal,” but these little baked gems are a unique

    way to use up those few extra sweet potatoes.

    If chocolate isn’t your thing, use your chestnuts in this flavorful recipe. The best part
    is that it goes beautifully with cranberry sauce stirred in the top!

    Did you serve squash at your table? This savory porridge uses butternut squash, but
    any fall squash could work here. It’s like risotto!

    Extra sweet potatoes? No problem. Even if your potatoes are already mashed

    and seasoned, they would probably work here as long as you didn’t add savory
    flavors. I don’t think herbs, salt, and pepper would be a good match here. 🙂

    This is such a fun way to use up cranberry sauce. Paired with pecan butter, it makes

    such a delicious alternative to the already-wonderful peanut butter and jelly.

    Perhaps you’re bored of Thanksgiving flavors and are looking for something

    completely different. I highly recommend mixing your sweet potato with some oranges
    for this recipe. To be honest, this is one of my favorite recipes I have for sweet potatoes!

    Sweet Potato & Soyrizo Oatmeal

    Looking for something savory? Try my all-time favorite savory recipe! This is one of the

    few savory recipes that I love enough to make again and again!

    Thanksgiving Stuffing Baked Oatmeal

    Maybe you’re NOT tired of Thanksgiving food yet! This list wouldn’t be complete

    without my recent stuffing-inspired recipe. This porridge is perfect if you have a bunch
    of random ingredients like fresh herbs, celery, corn, chestnuts, and cranberry sauce
    to use up. You can really throw in whatever you want. Potatoes are welcome!

      Apple and Veggie Sausage Oatmeal

      I definitely try to limit my exposure to fake meats, but it’s always fun to experiment with them. My friends know that soyrizo is my absolute favorite, and good ol’ tempeh is a close second. I tend to have those around in my kitchen pretty regularly.

      However, occasionally I get super crazy and buy random items…like these sausage links.
