Oatmeal Topping Ideas You Won’t Believe!
2009-08-31 | Filed Under Miscellaneous |
I love oatmeal. I love Quaker Old Fashioned Rolled Oats…with brown sugar and cinnamon and vanilla extract. I put the oats into the cold water so it cooks up nice and creamy. I’ll usually throw in some golden raisins, or Craisins right away, too, so they’ll be nice and plump when the oatmeal is done.
I know others put different ingredients into their oatmeal. A waitress in Arizona talked me into trying peanut butter in it, but I can’t say that I was impressed.
And I’ve heard that some people add sliced bananas or blueberries and I’ve considered trying those, but I had a real epiphany yesterday when I happened across Quaker’s website. They have a page dedicated to toppings for oatmeal that anyone can add to! By the time I worked my way down the page through over 200 topping ideas, I was famished. I couldn’t wait to get up this morning to try out what I think is the best oatmeal topping ever conceived in the whole history of mankind.
Here’s a sample of the ideas you’ll find on the website. See if you can pick out the one I tried this morning
- blackstrap molasses, cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg
- orange marmalade
- oatmeal cookies
- trail mix
- chopped apple and pumpkin pie spice
- peaches, brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg
- pumpkin puree, walnuts and maple syrup
- 1 perfect piece of Dove Dark Chocolate
You guessed it! Who would have thought that chocolate and oatmeal would compliment each other so well? Some other great ingredients were cocoa and chocolate milk. Yum!
Of course, there’s always some weirdos in the crowd:
- chopped peppers, ginger, coriander leaves and plain yogurt
- salsa
- soy sauce and chopped green onions
- and my favorite: Tabasco sauce and bread & butter pickles
Don’t those sound yummy?
Come on! What’s your favorite oatmeal topping?
