- Try any of these topping combinations:
Tamari + Toasted Sesame Oil + Chopped Scallion
Use this sesame oil. Just trust us.
Chopped Pistachios + Dates + Flaky Salt
Go easy on the dates—they're sweeter than you'd think.
Sautéed Apples + Cinnamon Butter + Toasted Walnuts
To make cinnamon butter, just mix in ¼ cup room-temperature butter, ¾ teaspoon cinnamon, a pinch salt, and 1 teaspoon maple syrup.
Shaved White Chocolate + Macadamia Nuts + Dried Cranberries
Go easy on the white chocolate. Or don't!
Maple Syrup + Fried Egg
Decidedly not for those averse to mixing savory and sweet—but totally delicious.
Pumpkin Purée + Curry Paste
Start your morning with a kick.
Coconut Milk + Unsweetened Coconut Flakes
Double the coconut, double the fun, right? Be sure to shake the milk before opening it—the cream and water naturally separate.
Sriracha + Fried Garlic
Just don't forget to brush your teeth afterwards.
Brown Sugar + Toasted Hazelnuts + Sliced Strawberries
Toss the strawberries in sugar and let them sit for a few minutes before adding to the oats.
Ground Cinnamon + Ground Nutmeg + Cashew Butter
Frankly, this is also good without the oats.
Molasses + Candied Ginger
Go easy on the molasses—it's strong stuff.
Lemon Zest + Butter + Grated Parmesan
If it's good on pasta, it's good on oatmeal.
Pomegranate Molasses + Feta
A little tangy, a little salty, a little sweet. The heat of the oatmeal will partially melt the feta—which is a very good thing.
Crumbled Sausage Patty + Toasted Fennel Seeds + Sautéed Onion
Crush the seeds with a mortar and pestle or spice grinder if you have the time. Skip this step if you're lazy.
Ricotta Cheese + Pumpkinseed Oil + 1-2 Sliced Dried Figs
Pumpkinseed oil has a low smoke point, which makes it ideal for drizzling, not cooking.
