Hawaiian Oatmeal

Hawaiian Oatmeal is a hearty, creamy oatmeal filled with juicy bits of pineapple, chewy nuts, a sprinkling of coconut, and a dusting of brown sugar.

We are huge fans of oatmeal and there is no better way to start a fall day than with a fun bowl of oatmeal. My kids can make most of our oatmeal recipes on their own and I have to admit that it’s kind of awesome to be served a tasty meal in the morning while barely lifting my sleepy head out of my coffee cup.

I love playing with different flavors and add-ins for our oatmeals. My kids almost licked the pan clean after we ate this oatmeal for breakfast and I already promised them we’d use the rest of the pineapple for more Hawaiian Oatmeal tomorrow.

Oatmeal Recipes

While stovetop oatmeal is probably our most frequently eaten oatmeal, we also love baked oatmeal and crock-pot oatmeal. I’m always experimenting with different combinations of add-ins for oatmeal.

Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal is a classic breakfast that’s especially comforting in the fall. If you enjoy autumn flavors in your oatmeal, you’ll also like this Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal with Vanilla Whipped Cream. 

When it comes to baked oatmeal,  this Apple Pie Baked Oatmeal is definitely a standout recipe. It’s two of my favorite things (apple pie and oatmeal) all baked into one meal.

Pumpkin Spice Baked Oatmeal, Biscoff Banana Bread Baked Oatmeal and these cute Heart Shaped Craisin Baked Oatmeal are a few more fun spins on baked oatmeal. We also love these Chewy Raisin Baked Oatmeal Cups as a breakfast for two.

Here are a few more of my family’s favorite oatmeals to get your mornings started great this fall. (I had each of my guys pick a current favorite to share with you this time.) Happy breakfasting!
