Oatmeal is a staple for me in the colder months. I never seem to tire of its hearty warmness. It is extremely simple to make, the flavors can be switched up, and I can toss in my favorite superfoods to add a boost of nutrition and fiber-filled mileage. Here are my top 5 oatmeal recipes to help inspire healthier mornings.

If I had to pick one favorite oatmeal recipe, it would probably be pumpkin pie. It encapsulates fall. Warm, hearty, and full of delicious seasonal spices, this combo is always a winner!

pumpkin pie oats

ingredients

  • 1 cup filtered water
  • 1 cup milk of your choice 
  • 1 cup extra-thick rolled oats
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean powder or extract
  • Small pinch of salt
  • 1/4 cup unsulfered golden raisins
  • 1/2 cup cooked pumpkin 
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup 
  • 2 tablespoons toasted pecans, chopped
  • Sprinkle of hemp seeds for garnish

 method

  1. Bring the water and milk to a gentle boil, add the oats, raisins, salt, spices, pumpkin, and maple syrup and reduce to a simmer. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring every few minutes to prevent burning.
  2. Divide into two bowls, garnish with pecans, hemp seeds, and additional milk of your choice.

Matcha is having quite the moment. Matcha lattes, matcha soft serve, and matcha-laced sweet treats seem to be dominating the current healthy food scene. Matcha is not just vibrant and beautiful, it is loaded with beneficial nutrients, potent antioxidants, and flavonoids which help fend off damaging free radicals. Start your day with a fully loaded bowl of matcha oats, and you will be going strong all day long. 

matcha goji berry oatmeal

serves 2

  • 1 cup filtered water
  • 1 cup milk of your choice
  • 2 teaspoons matcha powder
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 cup extra thick rolled oats, I like Bob's Red Mill
  • 2 tablespoons goji berries
  • 2 teaspoons sesame seeds, toasted, if you wish

In a small pot over low heat, whisk together the water, milk, matcha, and maple syrup until smooth and lump free. Add oats and goji berries and simmer on low for 10 to 15 minutes or until most of the liquid is absorbed. Stir oats every few minutes to avoid burning. To serve, top with sesame seeds and additional milk, if you wish.

I am a huge breakfast lover. I often find myself contemplating my morning meal while slowly drifting off to sleep. You may not be as breakfast obsessed as I am, yet there are a multitude of reasons why you should be. Eating breakfast boosts your metabolism, improves focus, prevents overeating at lunch and dinner, and helps to promote a healthy, happy weight. Caramelized banana nut oatmeal feels indulgent, but it isn't. Elevate your morning oat game with sweet and slightly crunchy caramelized bananas, toasted walnuts, and your favorite toppings. 

caramelized banana nut oatmeal 

serves 2

  • 1 cup extra thick rolled oats 
  • 2 cups water or milk of your choice, or a combo of both
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon 
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean powder 
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup 
  • 1 medium sized banana cut into slices
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup toasted walnuts, chopped

Additional toppings:

  • chia seeds
  • hemp seeds
  • ground flax seeds

method

  1. In a small pot, bring 2 cups water or milk of your choice to a boil. Add the oats, cinnamon, vanilla bean powder, and maple syrup. Reduce heat to medium low and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, stiring every few minutes to prevent the oats from sticking. 
  2. While the oats cook, warm the coconut oil in a sauté pan. Add the bananas and caramelize 2 to 3 minutes a side, or until soften and browned. 
  3. To serve, transfer oatmeal into two bowls, top with caramelized bananas, walnuts, and additional toppings and milk, if you wish.

Looking for a make ahead option? Consider baked oatmeal. It is great for those individuals who are always on the run and don't have time to sit down and enjoy breakfast in the comfort of their home. Once cooked and cooled, portion out the bake into individual serving-sized containers that you can just grab and go and enjoy at work or en route.

  • 1 teaspoon aluminum-free baking powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Scant 1/2 teaspoon fine-grain sea salt

  • 3 tablespoons coconut oil, butter, or ghee melted and cooled slightly
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract or vanilla bean powder
  • 2 ripe bananas, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries or a mix of all three

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F and generously butter the inside of an 8-inch square baking dish with coconut oil, butter. or ghee.
  2. In a bowl, mix together the oats, half the walnuts, the baking powder, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, milk, egg, half of the butter or coconut oil, and vanilla.
  4. Arrange the bananas in a single layer in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle two-thirds of the berries on top. Cover the fruit with the oat mixture. Slowly drizzle the milk mixture over the oats. Gently give the baking dish a couple thwacks on the countertop to make sure that the milk moves through the oats. Scatter the remaining berries and remaining walnuts across the top and sprinkle with the coconut flakes.
  5. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, until the top is nicely golden and the oat mixture has set. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Drizzle the remaining melted butter or coconut oil on the top and serve or refrigerate.

Bircher muesli is a fancier, more sophisticated term for overnight oats - a fantastic nutrient dense option that you make the evening before and grab on the go in the morning. Muesli is the ideal solution for you bleary-eyed, non-morning people. For this rendition of a make-ahead-breakfast, ripe banana is mixed with zesty citrus, milk, and extra-thick rolled oats, creating a creamy, dreamy protein and fiber-filled morning treat...without the guilt or sugar high. 

bircher muesli

Makes 2 servings

  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean powder
  • 1 teaspoon organic lemon zest

  • 2 cups milk of your choice
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup 
  • 1/2 cup seasonal fruit

Optional toppings

  • Hemp seeds
  • Chia seeds
  • Goji berries

 

Place banana, chia seeds, cinnamon, and vanilla bean powder in a bowl. Mash with a fork to combine. Add lemon zest, lemon juice, oats, milk, and maple syrup and mix well. Store in an airtight container in the fridge overnight. In the morning, stir in additional fruit and additional toppings of your choice.

Thank you!
Happy Hanukkah! Feeling especially grateful and lucky to celebrate the 7th night with beautiful family, friends, Jack, @a_shear who is the best latke partner around, and of course our giraffe, Jeffery (named after Ina’s). 📸 by @jeanettedonnarumma
It’s cozy belly hugging food season but that doesn’t have to mean unhealthy! Cuddle up with a creamy dreamy bowl of mushroom farro risotto with a touch of truffle oil and parm. mushroom farro risotto Serves 4-6 1 tbsp olive oil 1 white onion, chopped 3 ribs celery, chopped 2 cloves garlic, minced 2 cups cremini mushrooms, cleaned and chopped 1 1/2 cups farro 2 tsps fresh thyme leaves plus additional for garnish 3 cups vegetable or mushroom stock salt freshly ground black pepper truffle oil 1/2 -3/4 cups parmesan cheese, grated Warm olive oil in a dutch oven or large pot over medium heat. Add onion and celery and sauté for 5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften. Add garlic, mushrooms, and farro, stirring and cooking for another 2 minutes. Pour in stock, 1/4 tsp salt, freshly ground pepper, and thyme. Cover, bring liquid to a boil, and reduce to a simmer. Cook for 45 to 50 minutes or until farro is tender to the bite and liquid is absorbed. Remove lid and stir vigorously from time to time.(If farro is tender, but liquid is still present, raise heat, cook uncovered for an additional 5-10 minutes to help liquid evaporate.) Taste and adjust seasoning. Transfer farro mushroom mixture to a bowl, fluff with a fork, drizzle with truffle oil, fresh thyme, black pepper, and a good dusting of parm. Best served warm.
Happy Hanukkah! We’re celebrating with sweet potato and carrot latkes topped with creme fraise, scallions, and @petrossiannyc caviar. Wishing you all a lovely holiday season! #petrossian See it happen in my latke highlight! sweet potato and carrot latkes 1 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and grated – about 5 cups grated (I use the grater attachment on a food processor) 3 large or 1/2 lb carrots peeled and grated 1 small yellow onion, grated 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger 3 tablespoons oat flour 3 tablespoon brown rice flour (or your preferred flour) 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon baking powder Salt to taste 2 eggs, beaten 1/4 cup canola, grape seed, or rice bran oil Garnishes: chopped chives, plain yogurt, sour cream/ creme fraise, caviar, and/or apple sauce. Combine the grated sweet potatoes, carrots, and onion in a bowl. Transfer to a cheese cloth or towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Transfer to a large bowl and add the flours, spices, baking powder, salt, eggs, and gently fold together. You want the batter to be on the dry side. Add a tablespoon more flour as needed. The drier the batter the crisper the latke. In a heavy bottomed pan over medium-high heat, add 1/4 inch of oil. Oil is hot enough when a drop of the batter sizzles. You don't want a roiling boiling. Use a heaping tablespoon to drop the potato carrot mixture into the hot pan. Cook in batches to avoid overcrowding. 4 latkes per 10" pan is appropriate. Use a spatula to flatten the latkes into rounds. Once the edges are brown and crispy, 3 to 5 minutes, flip. Cook the second side until golden, about 4 minutes more. Transfer the latkes to a paper towel-lined plate, sprinkle with salt. If center is chewy - finish in the oven for 10 minutes. You can make latkes in advance and reheat in the oven so you are not tied to the stove while celebrating! Serve warm with desired garnishes. Happy Hanukkah! #partner
It’s cozy bear season which means lots of warm and hearty meals. With the latest downer on climate change let’s all do our part and eat a little less meat. Start with this hearty and deeply nourishing lentil bolognese full of meaty mushrooms and protein filled lentils. Be extra virtuous and serve on top quinoa or chickpea pasta, spiralized veggies, spaghetti squash, or sautéed kale. Lentil Bolognese serves 6 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 medium yellow onion, chopped 3 medium-sized carrots, peeled and chopped 6 cloves of garlic, minced 1 pound of baby bella mushrooms, cleaned and sliced 1 teaspoon smoked paprika or pimenton 2 teaspoons tried oregano 1 teaspoon dried thyme 2 teaspoons dried chili flakes 1 cup green or brown lentils, rinsed 2 tablespoons tomato paste 2 18 -ounce jars crushed organic tomatoes 1/2 cup red wine Sea salt and black pepper Fresh basil, torn 12 ounces quinoa brown rice pasta , spaghetti squash, spiralized noodles, or sautéd kale Parmesan cheese for finishing (optional but highly recommended) In a dutch oven or large pot, warm the olive oil over medium heat. Add the paprika or pimenton, oregano, thyme, and chili flakes, and toast the spices for 1 minute. Add the onion and carrots, and cook for 7 to 8 minutes or until soft. Add the garlic and mushrooms and continue to cook until mushrooms soften, another 5 minutes. Add the tomato paste and sauté for a minute coating the vegetables. Pour in the drained lentils, crushed tomatoes, and wine. Fill one of the jars that contained the tomatoes 2/3's of the way full with filtered water. Swish the water around to get every last bit of tomato, pour the water into the second jar, repeat the swishing, and add to the pot. Add a pinch of salt and black pepper and stir well. Bring sauce to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and partially cover the pot. Cook for an hour stirring occasionally. Taste the lentils to make sure they are cooked through, if not, continue cooking partially covered until tender. If the sauce is too liquidy continue simmering uncovered until reduced to desired consistency. If the sauce is too thick, add 1/4 cup of water. Serve on top of veggies or pasta of your choice. Enjoy!

Cozy bear season
Most Thanksgiving meals are full of decadent and heavy foods. Add some contrast to the mix with a colorful and zippy salad that comes together quickly and seamlessly. Punchy bitter greens, fennel, radish, parm, and spiced pistachios cut through the sweet, buttery, and starchy sides of the holiday and create a respite for your tastebuds. Thanksgiving or not, this salad is a simple yet sophisticated addition to your salad repertoire. I love the addition of radicchio to salads for its vibrancy and pop in color and taste. Spicy and sweet pistachios add a crunchy buttery element which adds dimension to the bitter greens and anise-y fennel. The pistachios in the salad are not only a flavorful addition, but are also a good source of healthy fat, fiber, and the antioxidant nutrient Vitamin E, which protects cells from damaging free radicals. radicchio, endive, and arugula salad with spiced pistachios Makes 6 side salads 1/2 cup shelled pistachios 2 teaspoons maple syrup 1/8 teaspoon chipotle powder 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar 1 shallot, minced Salt and pepper 4 cups arugula, torn into bite-size pieces 1 head radicchio, leaves separated and torn into bite-size pieces 1 head endive, thinly sliced 1 fennel bulb, core removed, thinly sliced 4-6 radish, thinly sliced Parmesan for shaving Preheat oven to 350 F. Line a sheet tray with parchment paper. Toss pistachios with maple syrup and chipotle powder and roast for 6 to 9 minutes or until fragrant and toasted. While the nuts toast, make the salad dressing. Whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, white balsamic vinegar, apple cider vinegar, and a pinch salt and pepper in a bowl. Add the radish and the fennel and let them marinate in the dressing while the nuts cool. This creates a slightly pickled element. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the radish and fennel to a serving bowl. Add the arugula, radicchio, endive, and enough dressing to coat the lettuces. Toss together. Top with a hearty shaving of parmesan, the toasted pistachios, and a few grinds of black pepper. Enjoy!
Celebrating this gorgeous fall day with belly warming pumpkin pie oats. Pumpkins are not just delicious, they are loaded with beneficial nutrients. These gourds contain high amounts of beta carotene which is responsible for the pumpkins orange hue as well as helps prevent degenerate damage to the eyes and the rest of the body. Pumpkins are also a good source of fiber and contain potassium and vitamin C, which are cardio protective. Stay nourished and fortified with this simple recipe for pumpkin pie oats. pumpkin pie oats serves 2 2 cups filtered water or 2 cups nut milk or a combo of half water, half milk. 1 cup extra-thick rolled oats 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon vanilla bean powder or extract Small pinch of salt 1/4 cup unsulfered golden raisins 1/2 cup cooked pumpkin or canned pumpkin 1 tablespoon maple syrup 2 tablespoons toasted pecans Sprinkle of hemp seeds for garnish and additional milk of your choice method Combine the oats, water, raisins, pumpkin, maple syrup, salt, and spices in a small pot and mix well. Bring to a boil, and let simmer for 10 minutes. Divide into two bowls, garnish with pecans, hemp seeds, and additional milk of your choice.
Chili season! I love warming up with a nourishing and hearty bowl of chili but my favorite part is the toppings! Vegetarian chili is loaded with plant-based protein, fiber, and lots of vitamins and minerals. It’s easy to make and great for leftovers. pumpkin and black bean chili serves 4 1 1/2 cup dried black beans, soaked overnight (or 2 1/2 cups canned black beans) 1 piece of kombu (if cooking beans from dried) 1 medium pumpkin, peeled, seeded, and cubed, yielding about 4 cups (butternut, kabocha, or red kuri squash all work too). Reserve seeds. 2 large carrots, peeled and cut into a large dice 1 yellow onion, diced 6 heads of garlic, minced 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 teaspoon smoked paprika 1 teaspoon cumin 1/2 teaspoon chili powder 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 24 oz jarred diced tomatoes 2 cups vegetable stock or water sea salt + black pepper Garnishes: scallions, cilantro, lime, pepitas, avocado, plain yogurt If using dried beans that have been soaked overnight, rinse and place into a pot. Cover beans with 2-inches of filtered water and add two smashed cloves of garlic, kombu, and a teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil than simmer w/ the lid partially covered for 45 minutes, or until beans are firm but tender to the bite. Strain + set aside. In a large pot over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, and cinnamon. Toast spices for 30 seconds. Add the onion, garlic, pinch of salt, and sauté, coating the aromatics in the spices. Cook until translucent, three minutes. Add the carrots and sauté for another three minutes. Add the pumpkin and the black beans to the pot, mix to combine. Add the tomatoes, stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and partially cover. Cook for 40 to 50 minutes or until carrots and pumpkin are tender and liquid has reduced. While the chili cooks, rinse and dry the pumpkin seeds. Place them on a parchment paper-lined sheet tray and toss with a teaspoon olive oil and whichever spices you may prefer. I like a 1/2 teaspoon each of paprika and cumin. Toss to combine and cook at 375 degrees for 15 minutes, tossing halfway through. Finish with salt. Serve the chili in bowls and garnish.

Fall harvest bowl! Maple roasted honeynut squash with lemony massaged kale, spelt, toasted walnuts, and truffle cheese 🙏 For a GF version sub in sorghum, quinoa, brown rice, or buckwheat. Vegans omit the cheese. Add some dried sugar and sulfur dioxide free fruit for some extra ⚡️. I like to make this in advance and enjoy for a quick lunch or dinner. . Fall Harvest Salad Serves 2-4 (depending side or main) . 1 honeynut squash, halved, seeded and sliced 1 tbsp maple syrup 1 tsp cumin 1/2 tsp cinnamon 1 cup uncooked spelt 2 bunches of kale, leaves removed and thinly sliced 1 tbsp Dijon mustard 1 tbsp Apple cider vinegar 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice 1/4 cup + 1 tbsp olive oil 1/4 cup walnuts, toasted and chopped 1/2 cup sheep milk feta or truffle cheese 1/2 cup dried unsweetened unsulfured cranberries or cherries Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste . Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In a large bowl toss together the honeynut with 1 tbsp olive oil, maple, cinnamon, and cumin and spread out evenly on a parchment paper lined sheet tray. Roast for 20-25 minutes until tender and slightly brown. . In a large pot combine 3 cups water and 1 cup spelt. Cover. Bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 45 minutes or until tender to the bite. Drain. . In a large bowl whisk together the Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, 1/4 cup olive oil, salt and pepper to taste. Add the kale leaves, using your hands massage the dressing into the kale for about a minute until the leaves are very tender. . Add the spelt, squash, walnuts, cheese, and dried fruit to the kale and toss well. Enjoy!
Squash season! Winter squash is loaded with Vitamin A, great for eye health and immune function, Vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant which can limit the formation of carcinogens, and fiber, which helps with digestion and satiety- bonus if you consume the skin, like in delicata and honeynut. Additionally, winter squash is rich in potassium which can help to counteract the effects of sodium on blood pressure. When selecting your squash, look for ones that have a firm matte exterior without soft spots or cracking. How do you like to prepare this fall/winter staple? I’m currently roasting honeynut with paprika, salt, pepper, and coconut aminos but I am always looking for inspiration!
