If you’ve been a reader of this blog for very long at all, you may have noticed that we love our oatmeal recipes for breakfast. I quite literally have an oatmeal recipe for every occasion. I make oatmeal on the stovetop, in the oven, and in the crock-pot on a regular basis and there are plenty of ways to keep it from being boring.
Only have a few minutes for breakfast? Stovetop Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal is a frequent favorite in our house as is this Maple Banana Nut Oatmeal. Have about 10 minutes to stir something together? The Best Ever Baked Oatmeal is a two thumbs up favorite with every person who tries it. Best of all, it keeps nicely in the refrigerator, so we have breakfast ready to go for a few days if we don’t finish it all.
If I have just a few minutes first thing in the morning, I can start this Strawberry Banana Slow Cooker Oatmeal in the crock-pot when we first wake up. By the time everyone is dressed and ready to eat, the oatmeal is ready to serve.

Homemade Instant Oatmeal is a staple in our pantry too. That way I can cook it on the stove or in the microwave on the busiest of mornings. And homemade granola is another great option for busy mornings.
I like to keep a batch of this Slow Cooker Granola on hand. My kids layer it in a bowl with yogurt or cottage cheese with fruit and breakfast is ready in about two minutes or less.
