Easy and Delicious Oatmeal Recipes to Try Today

Breakfast is called that way because it’s the meal that breaks the fasting from a night’s sleep. It’s also the meal where your metabolism is fired up. This means you need to eat a lot to stay satisfied until lunch while replenishing the glycogen stores you used up from last night.

As an aspiring or current pro cheerleader, you need to pick the right breakfast class which helps you maintain weight and at the same time keep your energy up for the day. So, you need fiber and protein. The perfect source for this is oatmeal.

Yet, plain oatmeal isn’t quite the ideal breakfast. To help you, I have listed 9 oatmeal recipes that are both healthy and delicious.

Baked Oatmeals

1. Pumpkin Cups

There’s no need to fall in line at your favorite coffee shop every morning just to get your daily dose of pumpkin. All you need to do is mix vanilla almond milk, pumpkin goods, old fashion oats together in a cup, and bake the night before. Then, you’ll have a tasty on-the-go pumpkin-flavored breakfast for the following morning.

2. Strawberry Banana

Not a pumpkin lover? That’s okay, here’s another baked fruity oatmeal that you’re sure to love. And if you’re a chocolate lover, you can choose to put in some chips as well. You can make as many as you want like even worth a week’s supply. This recipe lasts in the fridge for 4-6 days.

3. Apple Cinnamon

Baked oatmeals don’t have to be sugary. That’s why as the last recipe of the baked series, we’ve chosen to suggest this. A 1/6th serving of the final product only contains 20g of sugar. It’s safe for you if you’re on a keto diet or afraid of a sudden blood sugar spike.

Stovetop Oatmeals

4. Steel Cut Oatmeal

If you’re looking for a simpler oatmeal recipe, then, this is the right one for you. There’s no need for fruits to be involved. Butter, milk, buttermilk, brown sugar, and cinnamon are the only ingredients you need.

5. Elvis

The King of Rock n’ Roll was known for his bizarre food cravings. One particular dish that he loved was a sandwich with bacon, peanut butter, and banana. It may sound weird but it’s a protein-rich meal that’s really delicious. For this recipe, the only difference is that the sliced bread part is replaced with oatmeal.

6. Tropical

Just because the name says tropical doesn’t mean it’s fruity. This oatmeal recipe is also simple like the steel cut. But instead of milk, its recipe uses coconut flakes, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and banana.

Slow-cooker Oatmeals

7. Overnight

Forget using sugar just to sweeten your oatmeal. Use dried figs and cranberries instead. Then, leave the prepped recipe in the slow-cooker before going to bed so that your meal is ready when you wake up.

8. Blueberry

Are you a fan of a mushy yet fruity breakfast? Try this oatmeal recipe then. There’s a lot of maple syrup involved here so I suggest that you prep this meal for mornings where you need an extra boost of sweetness.

9. Crock Pot Samoa Steel Cut

This recipe was suggested to me by a friend as she noticed that caramel-flavored oatmeals don’t get too much love. I tried it myself and I loved it. The chewy texture plus very sweet taste makes it the best oatmeal to eat during the red days. It’s also what I prepare for days where my high-intensity interval training (HIIT) is scheduled.

Some of these recipes use a lot of maple syrup, honey, and sugar. These are sweeteners that have medium-to-high carbs. You can substitute these ingredients with stevia or xylitol if you want a low-to-zero sugar count per cup or bowl of oatmeal.
