Description

Are you ready to enjoy oatmeal for more than just breakfast? We've got ideas to incorporate oats into almost every meal including dessert. So, if you love oatmeal, or you're just looking to get some extra fiber, give these recipes a try. We've got ice cream, oatmeal bars, savory oatmeal bowls, chicken tenders, and energy balls. 

  1. Ice Cream

    The best no-churn ice cream is here! Steep toasted oats in heavy whipping cream and stir in vanilla and sweetened condensed milk for creamy flavorful ice cream.

  2. Savory Oatmeal

    Savory oatmeal? It may sound strange but it's delicious! Cooking the steel-cut oatmeal in vegetable oil adds a depth of flavor that's similar to risotto or grits. Then, top with sauteed mushrooms, wilted kale, and shaved Parmesan cheese.

  3. Cookie Dough

    This is the cookie dough we recommend you eat! Just pulse oatmeal in a food processor or blender and beat in the other ingredients. It even stores in the fridge for up to 5 days.

  4. Chocolate Bark

    Craving dessert? We bet you have all of these ingredients on hand to make our sweet-tooth-approved Oatmeal Chocolate Bark.

    Homemade yeast-less pizza crust is possible! Just reach for mozzarella cheese, oatmeal, and an egg. You'll love this whole-grain pizza dough alternative.

    Our not-so-secret ingredient to making these flavorful and crispy mozzarella sticks? You guessed it: Oatmeal!
