When it’s Snickerdoodle Oatmeal!
Serves one hungry CCK or one and a half normal people. No, I do not recommend taking to the streets in search of a “half” person to eat the oatmeal you cannot finish. Now if you want to cut your roommate in half… Ok, no I don’t recommend that either! So what, then, would I suggest to someone who only wants a recipe that yields the standard serving? Alter the ingredient amounts, sillies. Your roommie will thank you.
Snickerdoodle Oatmeal
(Or sub another grain)
- 1 and 1/2 servings oats (or other grain) (60g)
- 1 tsp good-quality cinnamon
- ½ to 1 tsp pure vanilla extract (I use ½ tsp)
- 2T almond milk (plus extra if you cook your cereal in milk)
- Sweetener to taste (sugar, stevia, agave, etc.)
- In a large Pyrex-type measuring cup, combine the flakes with about 1 and 1/4 cups liquid. (Add a little more if you’re using oats, as opposed to kamut flakes. The oats absorb more.) In other words, use the Voluminous Oatmeal Trick! Add a little salt (I use ¼ tsp plus 1/8 tsp). Microwave for 4 minutes, 30 seconds. Leave out for around 10 minutes, then stir and put in the fridge, uncovered. It’s ok if the flakes are a bit liquidy—that’ll evaporate.
- The next day, your hot cereal is ready for you to play. Mix in the vanilla, cinnamon, sweetener, and almond milk. I also add 1/4 tsp more salt. (It’s ok; I have low blood pressure and can eat more salt than the RDA.) Stir. Now I like to use my hand blender, but I only do a few pulses (like 4 or 5), so the Snickerdoodle cereal will keep its magical chewy texture. If you like your cereal to be hot, you can microwave it again at this time. I actually prefer the cereal cold. Especially after a run, the coolness is very refreshing.
Still craving Snickerdoodles?
You can always make Snickerdoodle Blondies.
Mmmmmmm…

Kamuf flakes? do they taste like oatmeal? curious!
Looks like a simple but awesome tasting bowl of hot cereal. I should try out some other hot cereals like kamut or spelt flakes.
Good luck to everyone! We will be travelling for months so I’ll have to miss out on the chocolaty goodness
Your oatmeal creations never fail to please, I’m anticipating a delicious, oatmeal (cookie)-filled spring break thanks to you!
Oh and also, I love the daffodils!
Love the snickerdoodle breakfast. I really need to get some of those Kamut flakes.
Breakfast looks good!
Looks great! And besides, just the name “snickerdoodle” makes it fun to eat, right?
Snickerdoodle for breakfast? Count me in!
loooove snickerdoodles! how do you like kamut flakes in comparison with oatmeal?
I love all of these decadent bowls of oats. I had a deliciously chocolate blended grain bowl this evening! And also grapefruit!
Vanilla extract is one of my favorite baking ingredients ever.
Snickerdoodles are one of the best things to ever happen to me. The more I think about it, I think they really made me aware of all the culinary things I was missing…
NAOmni
DROOOOOOL.
and i’m having a hard time deciding which recipe to post about for the contest! eeeeek.
I have never had a snickerdoodle before, but I am now craving snickerdoodle porridge!!! Yum!
Although I have never actually had a real snickerdoodle (I know, strange, right?), that oatmeal sounds fab!
My girls love snickerdoodles, but don’t love saying it. They are simply known as “doodles” in our house. I want a “doodle” for breakfast. One day without blended grains is one day too many.
yum – i love snickerdoodles, so I would love these!
snickerdoodles are my FAVE cookie…after choco chip!
i think you should call yourself the rolled in oats vegan instead of chocolate covered katie! ((giggling))
I’ve updated your page on my links!!
You are cuckoo for oatmeal, girl!! Looks delicious but I think I like the cookies, better
Grapefruit is my favorite!
yummmmmmy!!! nice oatmeal recipe! i thought i was branching out this morning when i added raisins instead of cranberries to mine!
Ok, seriously you are the oatmeal disguised as a cookie goddess
What a fantastic way to conquer a craving! Love this idea 
Hey Katie,
I didn’t see me on you list of contest entries. I posted about your tofu pudding and linked to your contest.
Thanks.
I love your blog. (I think I’ve said this before, but I still do.)
Snickerdoodles are one of my favorites! I am adding this to my list of breakfasts to try.
Loving simple and delicious bowls of grains these days. This sounds perfect Katie.
Yum! I love a healthy way to get a snickerdoodle fix. Brilliant!
Yum, snickerdoodle oat/kamut meal sound delicious.
I’ve never tried kamut flakes as hot cereal. I should though cause it looks damn tasty. Also, I’ll try to make something of yours before the 19th to get entered in!
Don’t forget the nutmeg next time! It’s the only thing that makes cinnamon even better.
snickerdoodle oatmeal!? girl you’re crazy, but I love it! haha. Snickerdoodles are great. I have to try out your recipe.
I’d like to also get in on that jocalat giveaway. I thought I already entered, but I guess I didn’t. WEird. my memory is horrible, most likely it’s me telling myself to enter, but forgot to.
I hope you’re enjoying wordpress. Oh, I don’t know if I mentioned that I love your title change. It’s even cuter! haha.
can’t wait for the contest!
Yummy! Do the kamut flakes have staying power?
whoa! i totally tried to make snickerdoodle oatmeal the other day and it didn’t turn out. glad you figured out the secret!
I have been using your oatmeal recipes for the last few days. I am excited that I don’t need much sweetener because of the flavor combinations you have created.
I don’t know how you do it, but your oatmeal creations never fail to please! *scarfs down bowl of Snickerdoodle-y goodness*
Awww yay! So excited you tried it!
Is the recipe above for one serving?
Hi Judy,
This is from the post: Serves one hungry CCK or one and a half normal people. No, I do not recommend taking to the streets in search of a “half” person to eat the oatmeal you cannot finish. Now if you want to cut your roommate in half… Ok, no I don’t recommend that either! So what, then, would I suggest to someone who only wants a recipe that yields the standard serving? Alter the ingredient amounts, sillies. Your roommie will thank you!
Yum! I think I’m going to try adding dried figs to mine tomorrow morning
Looks amazing!
Yum. I did this with a batch of VOT, but added the same quantities of seasonings, and a couple teaspoons of sugar, as I don’t have agave or anything like that, honey on oatmeal and I have a strange and strained relationship, and molasses just seemed out of place. Since this is oatmeal masquerading as a sort of cookie, I thought it needed a touch of sweetness.
It’s really the vanilla extract that brings the snickerdoodle-ness to this oatmeal. My usual bowl is old fashioned oats + skim milk + honey + cinnamon, but the addition of vanilla made it really awesome with very little effort. Great recipe!
I tried this oatmeal this morning having used the voluminous oatmeal trick- WOW! You are so right that it’s wonderful cold- I used coconut milk and it’s like a rice/tapioca pudding, for breakfast! Thank you for finally breaking my oatmeal rut.
thanks for the oatmeal ideas! i try to eat oatmeal for breakfast as I have recently put a stop to bacon and rarely enjoy eating eggs.
Ah! I made this! Again, it helps having a sweet-tooth-vegan blog for when you’re sick
Feeling crappy isn’t the best, but when you have the choice to have a warm, hearty breakfast in your belly? Well, than this is a great remedy 
Thanks Katie!
