They may begin with old-fashioned oats, but these oatmeal bowls are full of new and tasty twists. From pistachios and figs to a crispy fried egg, our assortment of recipes will bring excitement to weekday mornings. 

First up is this delicious lemon-blueberry combo, in which sweet mascarpone combines with tart lemon curd and juicy berries for an oatmeal bowl packed with flavor.

Goat Cheese and Cremini Oatmeal

View Recipe: Goat Cheese and Cremini Oatmeal

For a savory start to your morning, try one of our favorite combinations—cremini mushrooms, creamy goat cheese, and chopped fresh thyme. Creminis, more mature than your basic white mushroom yet still younger than a portobello, are the ultimate counterpart to soft goat cheese in this bowl of oats. If you can't find cremini, however, your favorite mushroom variety will do. Thyme adds a fragrant, herbaceous aroma that makes this dish super fresh.

Maple-Hazelnut Oatmeal

View Recipe: Maple-Hazelnut Oatmeal

You may not think of using your slow cooker for breakfast, but it’s a great helper when it comes to the morning meal. Think of serving your family a warm bowl of fruity, cinnamon-spiced steel-cut oats—on your busiest weekday morning. That’s right: Just load your ingredients in, and start the cooker right before you go to bed. When you wake up, breakfast is ready and waiting. You can double the recipe for times when you have weekend guests. Be sure to use traditional steel-cut oats; quick-cooking steel-cut oats and rolled old-fashioned oats won’t hold up after the long cook time.

View Recipe: Banana, Wheat Germ, and Oats

Wheat germ and oats make a perfect pair: You get the goodness of whole grains from the oats and a host of nutrients, such as vitamin E, iron, potassium, and folic acid, from the nutty wheat germ. Don't forget the banana slices!

View Recipe: Overnight Honey-Almond Multigrain Cereal

Steel-cut oats and barley soak up water overnight so they're ready to go in the morning. Use a big bowl because the grains will expand.
