When is a Snickerdoodle not a Snickerdoodle?

by Chocolate-Covered Katie on March 12, 2009

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.)
  1. 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.
  2. 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.

Looks like a simple but awesome tasting bowl of hot cereal. I should try out some other hot cereals like kamut or spelt flakes.

Looks great! And besides, just the name “snickerdoodle” makes it fun to eat, right? ;)

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…

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.

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.)

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. ;-)

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.

Is the recipe above for one serving?

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!

Johanna January 13, 2012 at 12:59 pm

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.

Beck January 25, 2012 at 9:29 pm

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!
