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!

Angela @ Eat Spin Run Repeat says
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! 😉
lauren @ the talking kitchen says
tabby cats sure have a thing for you. nice looking froth too, happy weekend!
Greta @ Staying Lost says
It’s neat to see you eating oats again! And Pumpkin is really cute. 🙂
Cm @ Lazy Healthy says
That lurking Pumpkin pic made me laugh out loud.
Julie H. of Spinach and Sprinkles says
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?!
Susan H. @ The Food Allergy Chronicles says
I love my morning oats! Keeps me full and happy until lunch!
Ashley @ My Food 'N' Fitness Diaries says
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!
Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table says
Haha – the great thing about blogging is that you have exact dates for everything. 🙂
Krista says
aww, darn it! I thought it was Dec 10, the day after conception 🙂
Morgan says
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 🙂
kathleen @ the daily crumb says
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 🙂
KathEats says
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!
Caroline @ After Dinner Dance says
I have actually never made stove top oats – I think I’m too addicted to overnight oats 🙂
khushboo says
I haven’t had oatmeal for breakfast in 2 weeks- they’re def making a comeback tomorroww!
Sarena (The Non-Dairy Queen) says
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!
Simone says
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.
Jennifer says
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.
Averie @ Love Veggies and Yoga says
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.
Mom says
LOVE the picture of Pumpkin coming up your stairs and all the tones of orange/brown in the shot.
Elisabeth says
I was thinking that, too – love the wood color on your porch 🙂
Stephanie @ Legally Blinde says
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.
Erika - The Teenage Taste says
I haven’t had oats in FOREVER either. They are so filling and versatile – I need to get back on that!
Melissa @ HerGreenLife says
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 🙂
Katie @ Peace Love & Oats says
I guess stove top really is better than the rice cooker?! Good to know! fffftrfdeerfdxydcxs
Molly @ RDexposed says
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.
Mom says
And we could all help Pumpkin name the kittens. (Since I’m trying to resist giving TOO many suggestions what to name the baby…)
[email protected] says
Excess baby names put to use-good thinking!
Coco says
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!
Lea @ Healthy Coconut says
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.
KathEats says
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 🙂
Emily says
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. 🙂
KathEats says
So glad you liked it!
Katie says
Question: when do you put the chia seeds in the oatmeal?
KathEats says
In the beginning with the oats, milk, water, banana, salt.
Jessica @ The Process of Healing says
YUM!!!! You inspired me to like oats when I started reading your blog and I’ve never looked back.. they are amazing!!
Alison says
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!
KathEats says
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!
Alison says
Thanks!! I tried it and it worked PERFECTLY. 🙂
Michelle (Better with Berries) says
I’ve gotta try stirring cottage cheese into my oats! I always have it on hand but never thing to add it in 🙂
Stacy @ Say It With Sprinkles says
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!
[email protected] for the Soul says
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.
JL says
I put jam on absolutely everything. So good on bowls of food like yours or fluffy bread.
Kerry @ Totes My Oats says
I still need to try cottage cheese in my oats! It looks so great!
elizabeth says
Are the rice cooker oats not chewy?
KathEats says
No they are – perhaps even chewier? Stove-top are creamier because of the milk and whipping motion
Annette @ EnjoyYourHealthyLife says
Looks awesome–I’ve not had oats in forever!
Lisa (bakebikeblog) says
I’m loooking forward to the cooler weather so I can get back into porridge!
Hillary [Nutrition Nut on the Run] says
even though i’m not a fan of cats, that is such a cute pic!
Liz @ iheartvegetables says
I haven’t made oats on the stove in, like… YEARS! haha
I’m so excited to see you at Sarah’s tomorrow! 🙂
Alaina says
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!
Cait's Plate says
That breakfast looks AWESOME. I still haven’t been able to perfect whipped banana oats but I’m not going to stop trying!
carri z. says
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!
KathEats says
You can taste it, but in a cheesecakey way
Paige @ Healthy Hits the Spot says
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! 😉
Gudbjorg says
yummy oats! 🙂
Ohh kitty looks so cute 🙂
Angel7 says
I wonder how Pumpkin will react when Baby comes into the picture.

Katie @ Talk Less, Say More says
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… 😉
Chelsea @ One Healthy Munchkin says
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! 😛
Anja says
I tried your recipe today. It is awesome. I used a dollop of salted almond butter. Beautiful!
