Why am I giving you so many fun ways to cook with whole rolled oats? Well…
If I confess to you that I do not enjoy eating a bowl of oatmeal in the morning (or any time of day) – can we still be friends? I’ve tried to like oatmeal. But I simply cannot eat it (Sam I am). I get to the third bite and try as I might, I can’t put one more spoonful into my mouth. I realize that this is because I am a spoiled, privileged person who has a plethora of food options, and in many other life settings I would be grateful to have a bowl of oatmeal.
So it is with gratitude that I share 12 other options for ways to use and cook with this wholesome ingredient!
How fun it is that delicious rolled oats can be stirred into these recipes and transformed into a wonderful breakfast option!

If you do happen to be an “oatmeal in a bowl” kind of a person, I highly recommend that you make yourself some of these: Instant Oatmeal Packets. It’s a wonderful time and money saver, plus you can include any of the favorite healthy ingredients that you like! I usually make big batches of Instant Oatmeal and put it into jars as pictured above. My family scoops out a “packet” amount and has a quick and easy breakfast!
What are your favorite, wholesome ways to eat oats?
This is funny to me because I LOVE oatmeal. Every morning. I get grumpy when too many days go by without it. :-) Oats, a banana, peanut butter, milk. Heated in the winter, raw in the summer. And when I’m a guest at someone’s house, it’s pretty easy to tell them “Please don’t do anything special for breakfast. Please just make sure I have these 4 things, and I will be so pleasant.” Well, plus coffee. And thank goodness for the chilled ready-to-drink coffee so my sister doesn’t have to smell it brewing!
We love the instant oatmeal recipe!!! My eldest son’s job is to make it! Two gallon ziplock bags is how we store it. Lasts about a week to two (that’s 7-8 people having it between those two weeks!)
Thanks for sharing more yummy recipes!!!!
I love that you are making it in bulk!
