Cozy Vegan Oatmeal Bowls

This easy oatmeal recipe is healthy, vegan, gluten-free and delicious! It’s so cozy and the perfect easy breakfast for a chilly morning.

One of my favorite breakfasts will always and forever be this vegan oatmeal. I know, I sound like a bore-fest, but there’s just something so cozy and delicious about a good, hearty bowl of oatmeal, especially on a chilly morning!

These vegan oatmeal bowls are so easy, and you can scale it down or up to make for more or less people! That’s what I love the most about oatmeal: it’s that it’s so easy and yet tastes so good!

I’ll tell you a little story. Jared’s grandma is 93 years old.

Yes, 93! When I first met her 3 years ago, the first thing she let me know was this:

If you want to get to my age, the secret is ice cream every night and a bowl of oatmeal with blueberries and slivered almonds in the morning. 

Always include those blueberries and slivered almonds haha! I’m not making any claims here, but all I know is that I think I could learn a thing or two from Mimi (and yes, she’s 93 years old and eats ice cream every night. Literally, goals.).

I think the real key here is enjoying life, eating what you love, and to not sweat the little things. That’s what I’ve gathered from a few centenarians that I’ve met.

So I guess that means I need to be eating more bananas, sweet potatoes, oatmeal, and chocolate, and seriously get back to my yoga practice! Good, right?

I’ll be sure to hit 100 with that 😉

Now back to these big vegan protein bowls that I created…the real reason you’re here, right? Not to listen to me ramble haha!

So another thing that always tripped me up was that there wasn’t a good amount of protein in oatmeal. That’s why I love adding a scoop of protein powder while it’s cooking!

In each of these vegan oatmeal bowls, I can get between 18-23 grams of protein right at the start of my day! I think it actually makes the oatmeal a lot thicker too. You obviously don’t have to use a vegan protein powder, it could be any protein powder, but I personally like to vary the sources of protein I consume!

Now for toppings. Oh the toppings! Because you can’t have a naked vegan oatmeal bowl! I mean, you could, but it won’t taste nearly as good as adding your favorite fruit on top 🙂

I love adding bananas, berries (shoutout to Mimi!), and my current love: kiwis! They’re just so yummy, and full of vitamin C and fiber!

I hope you love these bowls as much as I do!
