Creamy, Cozy Harvest Oatmeal

By Katie HigginsUpdated Aug 28, 2015

Another recipe that uses the blender/food-processor/hand-blender technique:

Creamy & Cozy Oatmeal

1/2 cup rolled oats (or one serving of your grain of choice; the photo is of whole-grain Cream of Wheat)
1 container applesauce (the little 113gram containers, not one entire jar!)
½ tsp cinnamon
milk of choice (I use almond milk)
dash salt
Other optional ingredients that might be nice:
raisins, dates, nuts, chocolate… oops, how’d that last one sneak onto the list?!

Cook up a serving of oatmeal, using milk of choice in place of the water. Add the applesauce and cinnamon to the cooked oatmeal, and mix together. You could stop here, and it’d taste delicious… BUT if you *really* want to experience oatmeal nirvana, take this next step: Using a hand-blender (or transferring the mixture to a regular blender or food processor), blend all the ingredients together. The resulting oatmeal is so super-creamy it’s amazing!

    Sounds delicious. Love the CoW – I still have to go out and buy the whole grain kind.

    Cream of Wheat was one of my favorite cereals when I was little – I’m so bitter I didn’t bring some back to France with me!! It’s so yummy!

    Yum! I need to try the whole wheat CoW too. And I have a quart of homemade applesauce in the freezer – maybe it’s time to put it to good use…

    I’ve never had Cream of Wheat before. I need to get some and through it in the food processor. My blender is terrible!
