10 Healthy Oatmeal Recipes to Make for Breakfast

If there’s one thing I eat more than anything else for breakfast, it’s oatmeal. It’s so darn versatile and I never seem to get sick of it. During pregnancy, it’s basically my BFF because it almost always sounds appealing. It’s comforting, hearty and healthy and something I feel good about eating every morning. Here are 10 healthy oatmeal recipes to make for breakfast.

The way I consume my oatmeal varies a lot. I love chewy, creamy overnight oats or a a cold and creamy smoothie made with oatmeal on hot summer mornings. When it’s freezing outside, a hot bowl of fluffy protein oats or a warm batch of oatmeal protein pancakes appeal to me most. However, if I’m being totally honest, I eat hot oats and protein pancakes year-round and smoothie ingredients often find their way into my blender in the middle of January. I’m clearly not too picky — I just love my oats!

If you happen to be like me, I hope today’s roundup of healthy oatmeal recipes gives you some new recipes to try when you’re looking for a way to incorporate oats into your morning meal!

• Whole Wheat Banana Pecan Muffins

When it comes to making muffins from scratch, I have a few loose requirements for the recipes I generally make for our family. I prefer a whole wheat flour or oat flour base.
