I use to hate oatmeal until I figured out how to make good oatmeal! It’s easy to make oatmeal not taste good, but I was determined to find a way to turn steel cut oats into delicious oatmeal recipe with good-tasting additions.
If you’ve been following my youtube channel, you know I have been pretty vocal in the past about my hatred for oatmeal. I rather eat other vegan breakfast recipes that I’ve been making for almost 10 years as a vegan.
Traditional oatmeal breakfasts aren’t super flashy or fun. Overall, good oatmeal recipes were hard to find for me. I like my food with lots of flavour and colour!

I used to cook oatmeal on my stovetop but then I discovered the rice cooker is perfect for them. 3 parts water 1 part oatmeal turn it on and you can’t screw it up. I’m excited to try your toppings and mix ins.
