Ever since I was a child I have loved oatmeal. It’s a breakfast staple in our house. While I can eat the same way every morning, my husband and kiddos sometimes wil get bored with the same thing. With that being said, in comes OATrageous Oatmeals.

Oats are such a versatile grain but most people think of them for only breakfast or a snack which isn’t actually the case.  I admit that I’m guilty of only pulling them out most of the time for breakfast…that was until this book! OATrageous Oatmeals is a new cookbook from blogger and bestselling cookbook author, Kathy Hester and it takes oats to a whole new level and gives home the tools needed to make exciting oats for every meal!

OATrageous Oatmeals says goodbye to boring oats and bland mix-ins and creates stimulating and healthy meals that will wow oatmeal fans and create new ones. It’s not only a cookbook about oatmeal (although it does contain dozens of delicious and healthy oatmeal recipes), it also has a large variety of oat-based recipes that are perfect any time of day, any time of year. From warming oats for fall and winter, to cooling breakfast oats for spring and summer, to soups and stews, lunches and dinners, desserts, and even treats for the furry four-legged family members. Even better, every recipe is vegan, and many are soy- and gluten-free as well so everyone can enjoy OATRAGEOUS OATMEALS.

Some of these surprising recipes you will find in this book are:

  • Baked Apple-Blueberry Pancakes
  • Pumpkin Coffee Cake Oatmeal
  • Hummingbird Cake Oatmeal
  • Chai-Spiced Oat Shake
  • Blackberry Mojito Overnight Refrigerator Oats
  • Protein Packed Peanut Butter Cup Overnight Oats

This fall try this delicious recipe from OATRAGEOUS OATMEALS:
 
Butternut Squash Maple Walnut Scones
Yields 12
These scones are only slightly sweet so they are just as great with a soup or salad as they are as a delicious breakfast. If you’d like them sweeter, make a glaze by adding a few drops of maple syrup to ¼ cup (60 g) powdered sugar.
