Stove-top oooooooats!!!
It’s been forever since I’ve made them. In fact, I think since January 19th! I now remember why I made this breakfast 75% of mornings for 5 years – sooo delicious!
Whipped banana oats made with:
- 1/3 cup Holly’s Oatmeal
- 1/2 banana
- Pinch salt
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1/3 cup cottage cheese, stirred in at end
- 1/3 cup blueberries, stirred in at end
- PB&J on top
SO much volume!
And can you remember the last time I had frothed milk? I believe it was December 12 – just 3 days after conception : )
French press decaf with frothed milk made with my IKEA frother
One awesome & filling breakfast
Beware: lurking Pumpkin!
Mrs. Pumpkin Lumpkin came up to say hello!

Lol, I haven’t had oats in FOREVER – even longer than you! I just can’t give up my morning green smoothie habit, even though it’s snowing outside and I’m currently freezing while slurping it back! Yours look lovely though. have fun with your furry visitor!
tabby cats sure have a thing for you. nice looking froth too, happy weekend!
It’s neat to see you eating oats again! And Pumpkin is really cute.
That lurking Pumpkin pic made me laugh out loud.
I love stovetop oats- weekends are the perfect time to get you oat on! ….Isn’t it crazy how you sense of time and dates changes when you find out that you are pregnant?!
I love my morning oats! Keeps me full and happy until lunch!
yummm you can’t beat a big old bowl of warm and comforting stovetop oats! i have oatmeal probably 5 out of the 7 days of the week. love it!
Haha – the great thing about blogging is that you have exact dates for everything.
aww, darn it! I thought it was Dec 10, the day after conception
I always microwave my oats during the week and do stove top on the weekends and it is so much more delicious, such a treat
the return of the froth! i love it. have you tried peet’s coffee? as a self-proclaimed froth connoisseur, i can tell you, they do it best
You mean in a Peet’s cafe? I don’t know if I have been to one, but I’ve had their coffee and it’s good!
I have actually never made stove top oats – I think I’m too addicted to overnight oats
I haven’t had oatmeal for breakfast in 2 weeks- they’re def making a comeback tomorroww!
Loved my oats this morning too with strawberries, vanilla protein powder (with chia) and almond milk! Completely hit the spot! Looks like you’re ready for the day! I hope you have a great one Kath!
LEMONS!! I read somewhere that the smell of lemons can help when you are feeling morning sickness. If you are not feeling an aversion to them, maybe try cutting up one and putting it in a ziplock and giving it a whiff. And maybe squeezing lemon in water to drink first thing.
Lovely breakfast. I think I will dig out my frother for afternoon coffee.
Is it weird that I’m impressed that you are able to pour coffee and take a photo simultaneously? That would be a recipe for disaster for me haha.
Oldies but goodies, the oats and the milk frother. I love bringing old favorites back into my rotation. Things taste especially good after they’ve been out of rotation for awhile.
LOVE the picture of Pumpkin coming up your stairs and all the tones of orange/brown in the shot.
I was thinking that, too – love the wood color on your porch
Yay, glad to see oats back! That sounds like an excellent combination of ingredients. Of course I prefer bright, sunny days, but there’s something kind of cozy about taking the time to make a nice cup of coffee while it’s rainy outside.
I haven’t had oats in FOREVER either. They are so filling and versatile – I need to get back on that!
I definitely had an on-again, off-again relationship with my normal big, hot bowl of oatmeal when I was pregnant last year. Even when I was past the “morning” sickness, and most of my other eating returned to normal, it just didn’t sound good some mornings.
Nice to have other good breakfast options for those times, and my normal oatmeal appetite returned after pregnancy
I guess stove top really is better than the rice cooker?! Good to know! fffftrfdeerfdxydcxs
Wouldn’t it be nice if Mrs Pumpkin Lumpkin could be pregnant along with you?
You’d be having A baby, she’d be having octuplets….you’d take your PNV, she’d eat a mouse…you’d buy a stroller, she’d practice seeing how many kittens should could carry in her mouth at once.
And we could all help Pumpkin name the kittens. (Since I’m trying to resist giving TOO many suggestions what to name the baby…)
Excess baby names put to use-good thinking!
I just made your whipped banana oats for the first time this week- and they were so amazing the first time, I made them the very next day too! I probably would have had them everyday had I had more bananas.. My husband told me it was like eating banana bread!
fun morning post…did you re-name the cat? I thought that was El Tiger?
oh wait, that was from the previous house right? lol We have a visiting cat too but I need to find a cute name for him.
Yeah, El Tigre was at our old house.
This cat was El Leon for a while, but we learned HER name was Pumpkin from the neighbors
kath i really have to thank you for a couple of things! first of all, THANK YOU for selling cville cluster on open sky, because i had my first taste this morning and you weren’t kidding. its pretty freakin fabulous. and second…for inspiration for making my breakfast! this morning it consisted of almost all kerf goodies….365 wheat waffles, cville cluster, and wild squirrel peanut butter (an an apple because it was all i had for fruit!). i never was this creative for breakfast before and my mornings are so much better because my bowl is actually INTERESTING and DELICIOUS! and you’ve taught me it CAN be like this as well as be healthy and filled with whole, real foods.
So glad you liked it!
Question: when do you put the chia seeds in the oatmeal?
In the beginning with the oats, milk, water, banana, salt.
YUM!!!! You inspired me to like oats when I started reading your blog and I’ve never looked back.. they are amazing!!
This may seem like an odd question – but how exactly do you froth your milk with your frother? I bought one recently and can’t seem to get the volume I’d like!
I pour the milk in a mug and heat it in the microwave for 15 seconds, then just stick the frother in there and turn it on and move it in all directions for about 30 seconds, then pour coffee/tea on top!
Thanks!! I tried it and it worked PERFECTLY.
I’ve gotta try stirring cottage cheese into my oats! I always have it on hand but never thing to add it in
I’m going to eventually have to try this whipped banana oats things that’s always floating around the blog world…yours today look so yummy!
oOoooo the weather looks gorgeous! Pardon me if that’s weird, haha. I think cloudy days are pretty
And stovetop oats are ze best!! Even the process of making it is so….zen? lol.
I put jam on absolutely everything. So good on bowls of food like yours or fluffy bread.
I still need to try cottage cheese in my oats! It looks so great!
Are the rice cooker oats not chewy?
No they are – perhaps even chewier? Stove-top are creamier because of the milk and whipping motion
Looks awesome–I’ve not had oats in forever!
I’m loooking forward to the cooler weather so I can get back into porridge!
even though i’m not a fan of cats, that is such a cute pic!
I haven’t made oats on the stove in, like… YEARS! haha
I’m so excited to see you at Sarah’s tomorrow!
Oh right! For a second there, I thought the cat grew it’s tail back.
I bought an Ikea frother because of you raving about it! I love it!
That breakfast looks AWESOME. I still haven’t been able to perfect whipped banana oats but I’m not going to stop trying!
i love pumpkin so MUCH!
can you taste the
cottage cheese in the oats?
a little nervous about that one
but seems like a good way
to boost the protein.
so lovely!
You can taste it, but in a cheesecakey way
I cannot stay away from Oats! They are sooo good! I was just going to make a creative, different dinner, and now I am craving Oats! Thanks ALOT!
yummy oats!
Ohh kitty looks so cute
I wonder how Pumpkin will react when Baby comes into the picture.

My favorite breakfast! Except I would substitute the decaf coffee for regular coffee and the milk for almond milk. But that’s the non-pregnant, lactose intolerant girl in me talking…
Nothing beats stove top oatmeal! I eat it 3-4x a week and I’d probably eat it every day if time allowed for it!
I tried your recipe today. It is awesome. I used a dollop of salted almond butter. Beautiful!
