    ❤️ Why I love cooking with oats

    • Satisfying: A warm bowl of oatmeal makes a totally satisfying breakfast.
    • Easy and budget-friendly: It's easy to make, it's inexpensive, it's comforting, and it's naturally gluten-free, dairy-free and vegan!
    • Healthy: Oats are considered one of the healthiest grains on earth! They're a good source of healthy carbohydrates and fiber. Oats keep you feeling full longer than highly processed carbs.
    • Versatile: There are so many delicious ways to use oats. You can serve a bowl of oatmeal plain with a little milk or plant-based milk, and sweeten it with maple syrup, honey, brown sugar, coconut sugar or even 0-calorie sweeteners like Monkfruit or Stevia. Or you can dress it up with a dash of cinnamon, fresh or frozen berries, sliced bananas or other fruit, nuts, hemp or chia seeds.
    • Quick to cook: The basic recipe for making oatmeal is to combine 1 part rolled oats (either old-fashioned oats or quick oats) with 2 parts water or milk and a pinch of salt. I've included a recipe for traditional oatmeal in the recipe card at the end of this post.

    While a bowl of hearty traditional oatmeal is delicious, there are so many more recipes you can make with a cup or two of rolled oats! I've rounded up 30+ healthy oatmeal recipes for you. I've included oatmeal recipes for breakfast, oatmeal muffins, baked oatmeal, overnight oats, granola, oat dessert bars, oat breakfast bars, and fruit crisps and fruit crumbles.

    A collage of recipes using rolled oats.

    Note: Oats are naturally gluten-free and all of these recipes are gluten-free as well. However, if oats are processed in a facility that also processes wheat or other grains, there may be a risk of cross-contamination. If this poses a risk to your health, you will need to use certified gluten-free oats.
