Black Forest Oatmeal with Toasted Almonds

Black Forest Oatmeal with Toasted Almonds
from USA Weekend
This is very chocolaty and tastes more like a dessert than a breakfast. I also used regular chocolate milk instead of soymilk and did not toast my almonds.

While the oatmeal cooks, toast the almonds in a small skillet over medium-low heat, shaking it occasionally, until golden and fragrant, about 5 minutes. You can substitute light chocolate soymilk, but I prefer the flavor of regular chocolate soymilk.

# 3½ cups chocolate soymilk

# 2 cups old-fashioned oatmeal

# 1 Tbs. unsweetened cocoa

# Pinch salt ( I used 1/2 tsp.)
# 2/3 cup dried cherries (or cherry-flavored cranberries), coarsely chopped
# ¼ tsp. almond extract
# ¼ cup toasted slivered almonds

Bring milk, oatmeal, cocoa, salt and cherries to simmer in a large saucepan or 5- to 6- quart Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, to desired thickness, about 5 minutes. Stir in almond extract and serve immediately, sprinkling each portion with nuts.

Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal

Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal
This is from mrbreakfast.com and is called Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal II. It is given as one serving; however, to me one of the servings is not enough for an adult so I doubled the recipe per serving. I also added salt. I modified a few other things.

My one serving

1 1/4 C. water

1 C. milk powder
1/2 C. oats
1/8 tsp. cinnamon
1/8 tsp. nutmeg
1/8 tsp. salt

1/4 C. canned pumpkin
1/4 C. sliced almonds
2 Tbsp. Maple Syrup


In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the oats, cinnamon, nutmeg, and milk powder. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 8 minutes or until desired consistency is reached.


Stir in the pumpkin, almonds, and maple syrup. Serve.

Four Servings

5 C. water
4 C. milk powder
2 C. oats
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp. salt

1 C. canned pumpkin
1 C. sliced almonds
1/2 C. Maple Syrup

Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal

Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal

1 1/2 C. Apple Juice
1 1/2 C. Water
1 1/2 C. Oats
1 C. Milk Powder (optional)
3/4 tsp. Cinnamon (or leave out if using dried cinnamon apple)
1/2 tsp. Salt
Handful of dried apples (or regular cut up apples would work, too)
1 C. Applesauce

Bring the water to a boil in a saucepan and while waiting mix everything except applesauce.

When it is boiling briskly, gradually stir in the oatmeal mixture. Boil this for 5 minutes.

Remove pan from the heat, cover, and allow it to stand for 5-10 minutes. Stir in the applesauce right before serving.

Makes 2-4 servings.

Cold Breakfast Oatmeal

Cold Breakfast Oatmeal

(This recipe yields 1 serving) Printable Version

• 3/4 cup rolled oats (non-instant and uncooked)
• 3/4 cup skim milk (may use rice or soy or almond milk)
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 packet sweetner of choice (optional)
• 1/4 cup dried or fresh blueberries

The night before your breakfast, mix oats, milk, cinnamon and sweetner (if using) together in a cereal bowl. (If you are using the dried blueberries, go ahead and add these the night before also making sure they have plenty of liquid covering them.) Now cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge overnight.

In the morning, add your fresh berries (if using) and stir gently. Enjoy.


This is my very favorite oatmeal. Once I ate this, cooked oatmeal took a vacation in my home. For a twist, use steel cut oats one morning. Either way you are getting plenty of fiber and a no-sugar option as well.
