44 Deliciously Warm and Cozy Oatmeal Recipes

It’s high holiday season!

Shopping to do. Cookies to bake. Packages to wrap.

And once the kids are on winter break, the exciting hustle and bustle of the holidays will really be in full swing! Family parties … ice skating and sledding and snowball fights … plus all those last-minute errands to run!

But before you head out to the mall to see Santa just one more time, or to the slopes for a few good runs … it’s always smart to fuel up with a delicious hot breakfast first! (Ahem … no angry, hungry elves!)

Yeah … we’re talking oatmeal!

A nourishing, hot breakfast that’ll keep you warm and cozy!

And takes only a few minutes to make!

And can even be started before you go to bed … so it’s ready and waiting for you in the morning!

Ahhh … now doesn’t that just melt the holiday stress away?!?

We’ve got 44 (yes … 44!!) of the bestedy-bestest hot oatmeal recipes out there! You can bet your elf ears that these recipes are the most delectable and healthiest we could find! (You’d be amazed how many unhealthy ones we found! Seriously! Unhealthy oatmeal? Yep – it’s a thing!)

From baked oatmeal that’s perfect for a family brunch and slow cooker oatmeal that cooks happily along while you snooze … to super-fast stovetop oatmeal recipes and even oatmeals that taste like carrot cake and candy bars. (Cake and candy bars for breakfast? Yum!)
