Oatmeal is the breakfast my family has eaten more often than any other, and I’ve made dozens of different recipes over the years, on the stovetop, in the slow cooker, in the oven and even in the pressure cooker. And, today, I’m sharing my absolute favorites with you all in one place.

My oatmeal rotation tends to follow the season’s fruit, so the stovetop bowls below are sorted that way: everyday versions first, then fall and winter, then berries and peaches.

After those come steel cut oats, slow cooker oatmeal, baked oatmeal and a handful of granolas. If you’re not sure where to start, the stovetop recipes are the quickest, the slow cooker ones are the most hands-off, and baked oatmeal is the one to make for a crowd or a weekend.

Oatmeal! Oatmeal! Oatmeal!

My boys have been enthusiastic oatmeal eaters for as long as I can remember, so new ideas get tested fast around here.

If you have been here with me from the beginning, you likely remember my youngest attempting to order, “oatmeal! oatmeal! oatmeal!” as a two-year old at our favorite Mexican restaurant once upon a time. Yes, he loves it that much.

Everyday Stovetop Oatmeal

These are the bowls I make on an ordinary morning with what’s already in the kitchen. All of them use rolled oats and come together in minutes. This is half the reason that I keep raisins and other dried fruit in the pantry!
