Has breakfast become a bit mundane? Ditch the instant oatmeal packets and make a up a bowl of this fiber-rich meal with some of our favorite oatmeal add-ins!
Simply Sweet
Cinnamon
Our Saigon cinnamon is stronger and sweeter than typical store-bought cinnamon. Saigon cinnamon is often considered by many to be the very best of the multiple cinnamon and cassia varieties. Its delicious flavor is the perfect compliment to a bowl of oatmeal, especially one topped with crunchy pecans or walnuts. For even more flavor, give our Apple Pie Spice or Pumpkin Pie Spice a try!
Maple Granules
Made with 100% dehydrated maple syrup, our maple granules are a convenient and easy way to add rich flavor to oatmeal. Like cinnamon, maple pairs especially well with nutty flavors, so try this seasoning with some roasted pecan, walnuts or almonds.
Honey Granules
Like our maple granules, this spice is a convenient way to add subtle sweetness to oatmeal. Mix in with vanilla, raisins and sliced almonds, or any other combination of add-ins for an added touch of sweet.
Vanilla Powder
Our Vanilla Powder is made from high quality organic Madagascar vanilla beans and organic sucrose. Its sweet and intense flavor is a wonderful addition to just about any number of other ingredients. Whether you add it to a bowl with raisins and nuts or fresh fruit, you can’t go wrong with this deletable spice!
Flavored Sugars
Our flavored sugars are made with high quality ingredients and cane sugar, all three of our sweet flavored sugars are amazing in a bowl of oatmeal. Try adding our Cinnamon Sugar, Vanilla Bean Sugar, or Blueberry Sugar to make your next breakfast feel like a real treat!
Nutty & Nutritious
Flax Seed
Flax seed is high in essential omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and fiber. Research studies suggest that it helps reduce the risk of heart disease, cancer, stroke, and diabetes. Both brown flax seed and golden flax seed contain the same beneficial properties, however golden flax seed has a superior flavor. Either type of flax seed adds a nutty and nutritious flare to a bowl of instant or baked oatmeal!
Poppy Seed
Poppy seeds have a delightful nutty flavor that is enhanced by toasting and baking. They make a tasty and beautiful addition to baked oatmeal or overnight oats! Try combining with lemon extract for the flavor of lemon poppy seed muffins!
Chia Seed
Although chia seed first gained its popularity by generating the “hair” for Chia Pets, it is actually a fiber and nutrient dense super food that has endless culinary uses. Chia seed is abundant in protein, essential vitamins and minerals, amino acids, and antioxidants. A one-ounce serving (about 2 tablespoons) actually provides more than 40% of the recommended daily fiber intake.
Chia seeds have a mild, nutty flavor and taste similar to poppy seeds when raw. They are a tasty topping for instant or baked oatmeal, especially in conjunction with bananas or other fresh fruit. Chia seeds can be used to make a Chia Seed Pudding which has a consistency similar to tapioca pudding. Top with granola for a crunchy and creamy treat!
Enhance with an Extract
Our high quality extracts and flavorings are the perfect compliment to baked oatmeal and overnight oats. The more intense flavors of extracts are better suited to these extended prep and cooking oatmeals, as they quickly overpower a bowl of instant oats. If you like to keep your flavors classic, we recommend our vanilla, Mexican vanilla, maple or almond extract. The rustic texture and bold flavor of our vanilla bean paste is also a great choice.
Feeling a bit more daring? Give one of our fruity flavorings a try! Our blueberry, cherry, lemon, and pomegranate extracts add amazing fruit flavor to overnight oats, especially those made with other fruits and cream cheese. Try combinations like cherry and almond, lemon and poppy seed, blueberry and cinnamon, or pomegranate and chia seed!
