2 Make-Ahead No-Cook Oatmeal Breakfast Favorites



The possible flavor combinations are endless for these two delicious and easy No-Cook Oatmeal recipes. Start by soaking steel-cut oats overnight, then rinse and drain in the morning. Then blend with fruit and other flavoring elements to make a thick and creamy bowl of a light but filling raw oat porridge. From rinsing to blending you can have this on the table in 5 minutes in the morning.


Here are two of Katie’s favorites: Peachy Sunflower Seed Oatmeal and Cherry Nutella Oatmeal.


Both recipes make 2 servings, but you can always multiply the measurements as appropriate.



Here are the ingredients you’ll need to make the first of these two delicious and healthy No-Cook Oatmeal favorites:


For 2 servings of Peachy Sunflower Seed Oatmeal you’ll need the following ingredients:

  • 2/3 cup (100 gr) steel-cut (Irish) oats
  • 2/3 cup (86 gr) sunflower seeds
  • 2 large peaches (3 small) + extra for topping
  • Juice from 1/4 lemon
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • Pinch salt
  • 1/3 cup (80 ml) water

Here are the easy preparation instructions:

  1. Add oats and sunflower seeds to a medium mixing bowl. Fill with water so everything is covered by several inches, then leave on counter to soak overnight (or 6-8 hours).

  2. Rinse and drain thoroughly in a fine-mesh sieve, then add to a blender along with the remaining ingredients.

  3. Blend until smooth and creamy, or until you’ve reached desired consistency. Taste and adjust for salt, sweetness, and acidity level.

  4. Top with more peaches and sunflower seeds and/or other toppings.


For 2 servings of Cherry Nutella Oatmeal you’ll need the following ingredients:

  • 2/3 cup (100 gr) steel-cut (Irish) oats
  • 2/3 cup (86 gr) hazelnuts, roasted
  • 2/3 cup (100 gr) pitted cherries + extra for topping
  • 1 Tbsp. raw cacao
  • 2-3 soft dates (or honey/maple syrup, to taste)
  • Pinch salt
  • 1/3 cup (80 ml) water

Here are the easy preparation instructions:

  1. Add oats to a small mixing bowl. Fill with water so oats are covered by several inches, then leave on counter to soak overnight (or 6-8 hours).

  2. Rinse and drain thoroughly in a fine-mesh sieve, then add to a blender along with the remaining ingredients. Blend until smooth and creamy, or until you’ve reached desired consistency.

  3. Taste and adjust for salt and sweetness.

  4. Top with more cherries, hazelnuts, chopped dates, and/or other toppings of your choice.




For both of these delicious No-Cook Oatmeal recipes, note that:

  1. The amount of water used will depend on how thick you like your oatmeal and how much is needed to help the blending process. Water measurement  in the recipes are a suggestion.

  2. This is also a great make-ahead breakfast. Make it the day before, store in a portable glass jar in the fridge, topped with fruit and/or other toppings, and it’s ready to grab and go in the morning.

Here are some suggestions for additional toppings for your oatmeal breakfast treats:

  • Nut butter
  • Hemp seeds
  • Coconut flakes
  • Bee pollen
  • Chopped dates
