Cinnamon Raisin Oatmeal with Maple Roasted Sweet Potato and Pear
Remember that vegan passover potluck I was telling you about? And remember that food repurpose recipe I promised you? It’s all coming together now.
Apparently, there’s this traditional Seder dish called Tzimmes. Not going to lie, it’s pretty freaking delicious. One of the potluck attendees made a variation of it from the Veganomicon cookbook that used sweet potatoes, pears, pecans, and raisins (pictured below). I loved it so much that I brought heaps of leftovers home. (The link to the tzimmes recipe includes an explanation of the Jewish history of the dish.) (more…)

Sweet Potato Chocolate Chip Baked Oatmeal
Confession: when I buy a bag of chocolate chips, they’re usually gone within a week or two. That’s why I will go such long stretches without chocolate chip recipes. If I had a bag in my kitchen all the time, I would go through about six a month. I just can’t keep my hands out of them!
So you can imagine my surprise the other day when I was digging for something in my cupboard and found the final few tablespoons of chocolate chips in a forgotten bag stuffed in the back. Since I had some mashed sweet potato prepared for oatmeal meal prep left in the fridge, I set to work on this recipe. (more…)
Sweet Potato, Bacon, and White Chocolate Oatmeal
. . . BECAUSE IT’S MY BIRTHDAY.
Before making this, I thought to myself, “Bacon? Or white chocolate chips? Bacon? White chocolate chips?”
“. . . OR BOTH.”
It felt a little bit wrong to celebrate my birthday without peanut butter–although I assure you I had it later in the day–but once I came up with this idea, it seemed like a worthy alternative. The sweet potato base is cozy and earthy, the white chocolate chips add sweet and gooey bliss, and the bacon is–well–BACON. ‘Nough said. The three components together create a sweet-yet-salty, creamy-yet-crunchy, healthy-yet-indulgent combo.
You can use whatever bacon you want, but I highly recommend Sweet Earth “Benevolent Bacon” if you can find it. The BEST vegan bacon on the market, if you ask me (and no piggies harmed ?). Om nom nom. (more…)
Savory BBQ Sweet Potato Oatmeal
This recipe is the second of three savory recipes that won the Savory Oatmeal Contest. In case you missed it, here is Sarah’s Curried Pumpkin Basil Oatmeal.
Hello, everyone! I am so excited that I was invited to share this delicious fall recipe with you. My name is Lyndsey, and I am sixteen years old. My hobbies include musical theatre, running, watching Grey’s Anatomy, and cooking up tasty recipes. I have a passion for nutrition and fitness, and aspire to become an endocrinologist in the future. For more background on me, and my obsession with all things oatmeal, you can read my post from when I was the Oatmeal Enthusiast in April 2014.
I love the fall. Digging out my boots from the back of my closet and seeing the pumpkin spice recipes gradually appear on my Pinterest feed fills me with an immense amount of glee. My favorite fall flavor would have to be the stereotypical pumpkin, which is closely followed by apple spice. However, when I am craving something a bit fancier than pumpkin, a tasty sweet potato is the perfect substitution.
For my entire life, I have never, EVER enjoyed ketchup. I much prefer the slightly sweet and spicy taste of barbecue sauce, which pairs great with homemade baked sweet potato fries 🙂 The other day, I was brainstorming a new savory oatmeal recipe. I knew I wanted to use up a sweet potato I had on hand, and I was having a major craving for barbecue sauce. So this recipe was born! It contains a creamy sweet potato and barbecue sauce base, and is topped with some more barbecue and some green onions. For some spice, an optional pinch of cayenne pepper is delicious! (more…)

Sweet Potato Green Oatmeal Smoothie
When I made homemade oat milk the other week, I mentioned that it works well in smoothies. I didn’t want to leave you hanging, so I made this smoothie to prove it.
I had half a sweet potato left over from my Sweet Potato, Almond Butter, & Raisin Oatmeal, so I used that as the star of my smoothie. With banana, some spices, and a handful of greens, this smoothie is like a nutritious sweet potato pie. Then I added my secret ingredient: raw oats!
I love how oats cut the sweetness of a smoothie. I actually stopped eating smoothies because I hated how sweet they were, but with oats, I find the experience much more enjoyable. You could add quick oats, rolled oats, or even the pulp of oats leftover from making oat milk. (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!
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. 🙂

Sweet Potato Curry Oatmeal
As with many non-city folk, my experience with foreign cuisines was limited to Italian and Mexican food. Give me lasagna or a taco (Americanized, of course), but sushi? No. Tapas? What’s that? French? Yuck. Russian? Nah. And there were definitely no curries.
My first time eating beyond the Italian/Mexican standards was during my trip to San Diego after college graduation, which was the first time I had sushi. Surprisingly, it was love at first sight. Shortly after, I experienced Thai. Once I was living on the East Coast, sushi and Thai became frequent eats, and pretty soon I was trying French, Indian, Greek, Ethiopian, Ukranian, Spanish tapas, and more. (more…)
Sweet Potato and Chocolate PB2 Oatmeal
Okay, so I might be a little out of season with this one. The truth is, I love sweet potato. 365 days a year. My heart knows no boundaries with food. Sure, I may crave certain foods a little more during certain seasons, but sometimes I want peaches in February or sweet potatoes in April.
Coconut Sweet Potato Oatmeal
Taking a tip from my Coconut Kiwi Oatmeal, I decided to go for another round of coconut butter. This time, I paired it with sweet potato.
If you haven’t noticed, I’m a major fan of sweet potato in oatmeal. I might even like it more than pumpkin. The only reason I don’t use it more often is because…well…I’m lazy. Sweet potatoes need to be cooked, and that’s annoying. It’s always worth it, though.
