Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride Oatmeal

This post is sponsored by Celestial Seasonings

Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride Oatmeal // katheats.com

Long time favorite tea. (I think this post was the first time I had had Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride?)

Long time favorite breakfast.

How could I not!?

Foodblog-3971

Your Christmas morning breakfast is served.

Start with one cup of rolled oats –

Foodblog-3984

Add an 8 ounce mug of Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride tea, steeped for 4-6 minutes.

Foodblog-3987

Add a cup milk

Foodblog-3989

A pinch of salt

Foodblog-3991

And sprinkles of cinnamon, ground cloves and nutmeg.

Foodblog-3997

Because bananas were not involved, I added a teaspoon of maple syrup for a little sweetness. And a teaspoon of vanilla for an extra punch of aromatic flavor.

Foodblog-3992

Set your heat to medium-low and stir, stir, stir. Do not stop stirring until your oatmeal is thick and creamy.

Foodblog-4001

Pour into a bowl and top with coconut butter and toasted almonds. Coconut flakes too if you like! And while we’re at it, crushed gingerbread cookies would rock too.

Celestial Seasonings is king of holiday teas. Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride is my favorite of the holiday teas, but Candy Cane Lane and Gingerbread Spice are also perfect for this time of year. (See the whole list here!) Sip them. Cook with them. Put them in stockings. Gift them. Serve them on Christmas morning, steaming hot. Their teas are the perfect way to share the “warmth” of the holiday season with your loved ones. ( <—heh heh!) Oh, and on the topic of tea Caitlin recently made cupcakes with Candy Cane Lane!

    First off, I LOVE you nails!!! What nail polish is that!? Secondly, sugar cookie sleigh ride is one of my favorite teas! I can only imagine it would add delicious flavor to a bowl of oats. Must try this!

    I just bought sugar cookie sleigh ride for the first time this year and I can’t get enough! What a great idea putting it into oatmeal. The ultimate cozy breakfast!

    Does it actually taste like sugar cookie slight ride, or is the flavour too faint? I’d love to try this!

    (Does it contain any added sugars, by the way? The tea, not the oatmeal itself!)

      The flavor does come through! No sweeteners in the tea.

    Using tea to make oatmeal is so simple, but I never would have thought to do that. I’ve got a cocoa mint mate at home that might make for a nifty twist. And now I’m hungry for second breakfast.

    I’ve been so curious to try their holiday teas, but I’m nervous that I won’t like them. Their flavors sound so delicious. I just don’t know how that translates to tea. Guess I should just try it!

    I am curious as an RD why the nutritionals are not posted with your recipes? I would love to see how this recipes look from the nutritional side of things. thanks!

      The more I learned about nutrition the more I decided that quality was more important than quantity. Thus, I don’t count fat grams, protein or carbs but focus on eating a diverse diet full of real food. While portion size does matter (especially for weight loss), I put my focus on ingredients and listening to your body. It’s fairly easy to calculate nutrition stats in calculators like these, so I leave that up to those who are interested to do. Thanks for asking!

    This oatmeal looks delicious! I love a hot bowl of oatmeal on a chilly morning. If only we could stay cuddled up under the covers too 😀 coconut butter on top sounds amazing. I can eat that stuff by the spoonful!

    I love the idea of cooking with tea! So much fun. Personally I think some cookie butter would go well with this one, even if it wouldn’t be the healthiest. I’m really enjoying the Celestial Seasoning posts you’ve done. What a fun partnership!

    I was so stoked to try this tea because I usually like Celestial Seasonings, but I’ve been so disappointed with it. I’ve tried it so many ways, double bagged, sugared, straight, with cream. No matter what I do it just tastes like water to me even though it smells great. So I checked Steepster (tea review site) and found folks seem pretty strongly divided on this tea. They either adore it, or think it tastes like water. So interesting! Kind of like how you either love cilantro or think it tastes like soap!

    Anyway, I’m jealous you get to enjoy sugar cookie flavor in tea form!

    This is not a criticism just a question! I am a bit cautious of how this tea could be all natural and I remember that you visited their facility (I think?) so do you know what Natural Sugar Cookie Flavoring actually is?

    This looks tasty, but ever since my mom opened up a tea business, I can’t go back to bagged tea. It’s loose leaf all the way for me! I have used her chai to make oatmeal before, which was wonderful. This post has inspired me to try one of her holiday flavors….
