Cozy up with a bowl of Vegan Oatmeal topped with seasonal fruit, such as fresh oranges and pomegranate. This breakfast is not only delicious, but easy to make, healthy, and absolutely stunning! Make it gluten-free with gluten-free oats!
Guys, I can’t believe I haven’t shared my all-time favorite breakfast recipe with you yet: Oatmeal.
Good old-fashioned oatmeal. Made with old-fashioned rolled oats.
It’s simple. It’s filling. It’s totally customizable.
Ready to make it??
Here’s what you need:
For the oatmeal:
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (use gluten-free oats if needed)
- 2 cups water (or almond milk or other plant-based milk of your choice)
- Pinch of salt
For the toppings:
- ½ cup almond milk (or other plant-based milk)
- ¼ cup of almond butter or sunflower butter
- 1 orange, peeled and sliced
- ¼ cup of pomegranate seeds
- ¼ cup of pumpkin seeds
- ¼ cup of fresh or frozen berries (optional)
- 1 tablespoon of nuts (walnuts, almonds, cashews) (optional)
- 1-2 tablespoon maple syrup or agave nectar (optional)
Of course, you can use any toppings or add-ins you like, such as:
- Chia seeds (these are really great in oatmeal!!)
- Flax seeds (the ground kind is better nutrition-wise!)
- Hemp seeds
- Freeze-dried fruit
- Sliced bananas, or any other fruit
- Pink pitaya powder
- Purple sweet potato powder
Here’s what you do:
Step 1: In a medium saucepan, combine the oats, water (or milk), and a pinch of salt.
Bring to a boil over medium heat and stir. Lower the heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. The oatmeal will be soft and thick, and will have a creamy consistency.
Step 2: Add the almond butter and almond milk, stirring until incorporated. Taste it (carefully! it’s hot!) and see if it needs sweetener.
Step 3: Divide between two bowls, then top with pomegranate seeds, pumpkin seeds, nuts, fresh or frozen berries, or add your own favorite toppings. Drizzle with additional maple syrup, if desired.
Enjoy a cozy bowl of vegan oatmeal goodness!
