Sweet Potato Fudge Oatmeal
If you like Brownie Batter Oatmeal (and it appears that most of you do), then you will love this. Bonus: NO BANANA. To me, that’s a downer, but to some of you, it will seal the deal.
Now let’s be real. Have I ever steered you wrong with any recipe that contained the word “fudge”? Let’s look at the evidence: Raspberry Fudge Oatmeal. Fudgy Banana and Peanut Butter Oatmeal. Ummm, CASE CLOSED.

German Chocolate Cake Batter Oatmeal
Today’s recipe is really a stovetop version of my German Chocolate Cake Baked Oatmeal, which I made half a decade ago. It’s really just a chocolate oatmeal made memorable by the coconut-pecan topping. Since it’s a cake batter, it’s perfect for celebrating birthdays. 🙂

Salted Tahini Fudge Oatmeal
I’ve been flying through jars of tahini. I think its best use is in salad, but I also love it on oatmeal from time to time.
Peppermint Fudge PB2
Shout out to my bulk-sized cocoa powder and PB2! The sad part is that I can finish both in less than a month. I buy the cocoa through the subscription program on Amazon, and it’s delivered to me monthly. I often have to supplement with a small Trader Joe’s container of cocoa powder by the end of the month. See also: my hot chocolate addiction.
I’m such a sucker for mint chocolate flavors. There’s a reason Thin Mints were always my favorite Girl Scout cookie. (Coincidentally, they are also the only vegan version. Hizzah!) If you like Thin Mints, or Andes mints, or any sort of chocolate-mint concoction, you will love this Peppermint Fudge PB2 (as well as my Thin Mints Oatmeal or Peppermint Brownie Baked Oatmeal)!

Cardamom Fudge Oatmeal
!!!!
After months (literally, months) of having homemade hot chocolate virtually every single day*, I finally figured out how to transfer that love to my morning oatmeal.
*It’s an addiction at this point, TBH.
You see, I have a few versions of my European-style (i.e. THICK AS PUDDING) hot chocolate. One is peppermint. Another is Mexican. Another is almond. And the final version is my personal favorite: cardamom.
Add cardamom to your hot chocolate. You won’t regret it.
I have considered sharing my hot chocolate recipe many a time on here, but it seemed so irrelevant; there are no oats involved, after all. Alternatively, I tried finding a similar recipe on the internet for me to include in my “Random Recommendations” section, but that has been unsuccessful as well. It looks like my hot chocolate recipe will remain a well-kept secret. For now.
Instead, I have this oatmeal recipe for you. One day for dinner, I wasn’t in the mood to make anything interesting for dinner. I try to avoid doing this, but I decided to be lazy and make oatmeal. As always, I wanted to make my Fudgy Banana & Peanut Butter Oatmeal, but I felt dumb for making that the second time in one day. To make it more interesting, I grabbed my jar of cardamom. (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…)
5 Ways to Meal Prep Oatmeal for Easy Breakfast Every Morning
Weekend meal prep has solidified itself as an important ritual in many people’s tight schedules in the past year. It boasts many perks: prevents you from needlessly eating out or ordering delivery, saves money by avoiding “convenience” items (e.g. precooked rice or prediced onions), saves you time during busy weekdays, and encourages you to stick with healthy choices—even after an exhausting day at work or school.
Meal prep is often discussed in regards to lunch and dinner, but preparing breakfast ahead of time is just as useful, if not more. I’m willing to bet most of us are sleepy and desperate for every minute in the mornings. Even if you insist on cooking your oats on the stove every morning, there are some tricks to save yourself a few minutes or allow you to experiment with recipes you otherwise wouldn’t have time for.

Salted Fudge PB2
Continuing yesterday’s sweet-and-salty trend, and last week’s flavored PB2 trend, let me introduce you to my newest creation:
Salted Fudge PB2!
This recipe is admittedly fussy when it comes to pairing it with the right oatmeal base (not every recipe enjoys being paired with salt!). I had this on Sweet Potato Fudge Oatmeal, but I could see it working in a few others, too. One that immediately comes to mind is Chocolate Chip Cookie Baked Oatmeal. I love salted chocolate chip cookies. It would be nice as the frosting on top of Brownie Baked Oatmeal as well! (more…)
Fudgy Chestnut Oatmeal
Chestnut puree strikes again! You didn’t think I would make you make (or buy) an entire jar of chestnut puree and then not give you any more recipes to use it up, did you?
Meet the newest member of the fudge family: this Fudgy Chestnut Oatmeal is most similar to Sweet Potato Fudge Oatmeal; it has a similar earthiness and thick creaminess. It also requires a generous dose of maple syrup.* Whatever you do, don’t skip the sweetness–and this is coming from someone who doesn’t have a sweet tooth.
*You could also try using chopped dates to sweeten it instead. I haven’t tried this myself because I find dates to be a tad too expensive for my grad school budget. Le sigh.
Fudgy Beet Oatmeal with Pomegranate
Beets and oatmeal? Beets and chocolate? Fudgy beets? Yes. Yes, I did.
This isn’t the first time I’ve done this. I also combined beets and chocolate to make my Black Forest Oatcakes two years ago. Listen: it works. Trust me.
The other time I put beets in oatmeal, I just diced it because I was feeling lazy. This was a mistake. Diced beets have no place in oatmeal. Every mistake I’ve made on this blog can be blamed on laziness. ? My bad. (more…)
