January is National Oatmeal Month (did you know that was a thing??), and I am here for it. I LOVE oatmeal.

Not only is it full of nutritional benefit, but it’s comforting and delicious, too.

IF you know how to cook it right. Which I did not for a very long time. And bland, mushy oatmeal is definitely not my thing.

Discovering the wonderful world of well-made oatmeal was a game-changer. Turns out, I’m actually a huge fan!

And along the way, I’ve learned several different ways to prepare it.

Here are 9 easy & healthy oatmeal recipes for you.

Enjoy!

Easy Oatmeal Recipes


  1. The Best Stovetop Oatmeal

    Mushy oatmeal is a hard pass for me, so I follow Jessica Fisher’s instructions for Not Mushy Oatmeal.

    It is THE BEST and pretty much fail-proof. (Unless you don’t set a timer thinking “Oh, I’ll check on it in 5 minutes.” No. Always set a timer, people. ALWAYS SET A TIMER.)

  2. Overnight oats

    I love a good make-ahead breakfast, and overnight oats is one of my favorites! It’s quick and easy to make the night before and easy to grab in the morning!

    MY FAVORITE OVERNIGHT OATS

    1/2 cup milk
    2 Tbs peanut butter
    1 Tbs pure maple syrup
    2 tsp chia seeds
    1/2 cup rolled oats (NOT quick)

    Combine in a mason jar and shake well. Refrigerate overnight. In the morning, heat or enjoy as is! (I prefer it cold.) Top with bananas for an extra treat.

  3. Baked oatmeal

    Baked oatmeal is a great way to change things up a bit, and my kids love it. It’s an easy breakfast to make ahead of time and warm up in the morning. You can even freeze it (before baking or after) for later!

    Our favorite baked oatmeal comes from Humorous Homemaking, but for a completely “real food” option, I turn to Cookie & Kate.

  4. Steel cut oats

    I love the hearty creaminess of steel cut oats but ONLY in the Instant Pot. I have tried unsuccessfully to make them on the stove, but I just don’t like them. So, if you think you don’t like steel cut oats, give them a try in the IP!

    This is my favorite way to make them!

Here are some other (delicious) ways to use oats!

  1. Granola

    Granola is a staple in our house. I love this recipe because it uses all real food and makes a big batch (which we still manage to go through at a surprising rate).

  2. “Dessert” granola

    Ok, so this one isn’t quite as high on the nutritional scale but if you want a fun treat that is downright delectable, you will definitely want to try this Chocolate Peanut Butter Lovers’ Granola. It’s soooo good.

  3. Granola bars

    I’ve tried lots of different homemade granola bar recipes, but this one from Bless This Mess is my hands-down favorite. And it’s so versatile!

  4. Energy balls

    These are one of my boys’ favorite snacks (mine, too!), and they can easily be adapted to your tastes and your pantry.

  5. Oatmeal muffins

    I make muffins pretty much every single week. When made with real ingredients, they’re a healthy and easy breakfast option. And these applesauce oatmeal muffins are a regular in my rotation.

    By the way, these are my favorite muffin tins EVER — they are magical!
