The Five Foods you Meet in Heaven
Can anyone guess mine? I’ll give you a hint. One starts with a Ch and ends in –ocolate. But another one is oatmeal. I even have a separate recipe tab:
Under that tab are recipes for the likes of Snickerdoodle Oatmeal, Cookie Dough Oatmeal, and even Boston Cream Pie Oatmeal. I even have Christmas oats and Halloween oats. The problem is none of those are good for Valentine’s Day! 😕
Chocolate-Raspberry Truffle Oatmeal (Or “Raspberry Cream Oats” if no chocolate)
- 1/3c uncooked rolled oats (40g)
- 1 cup frozen raspberries (100g)
- salt (I used very scant 1/4 tsp)
- a little over 1 cup water or milk of choice (260g)
- 1-2 tbsp creamer (I used 15g Silk)
- optional: chocolate (We’ll get to that later)
- sweetener I didn’t use any, but many people will want some.*
*In place of sugar, you can use the Melted Banana Trick.
Procedure: The night before, I microwave the oats, salt, and water in a large pyrex measuring cup for 3 minutes (2 minutes if using quick oats). Then I leave it in the microwave for 5 more minutes before transferring—uncovered—to the fridge. Next day, after running, I add the other ingredients (as well as 1 1/2 tbsp more water), stir, and microwave again until the raspberries melt into the oats.
Delicious without chocolate, but… This time, for fun, I stuck a square of 100% Ghirardelli (my favorite chocolate) in the hot oats. However, I didn’t take a photo of the ensuing chocolate melted mess… I was too busy devouring it! Godiva in a bowl.
What are your top 5 favorite foods?
Mine: kabocha, broccoli, coconut, especially (Vegan Coconut Fudge) and oatmeal and chocolate. Of course, chocolate!
Holly @ Couch Potato Athlete says
Sorry if this is double post, my computer is acting funny.
Top 5 foods: Bananas, Oatmeal, Peanut Butter, Avocados, Bacon 🙂
Stephanie says
Top 5: Chocolate, Banana, Avocado, Sweet Potato, Peanut Butter
Albizia says
Top 5… That’s a tough one. The first 5 that come on my mind will be the lucky winners. Bananas, coconut, broccoli, potatoes and cheese. Maybe they won’t be the same tomorrow but it doesn’t matter. And after I saw your breakfast I’m wondering why raspberries with white chocolate didn’t make it on the list 🙂 .
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Yeah, raspberries *almost* made it onto my list too :).
Beth @ Beth's Journey to Thin says
Woah that oatmeal looks AWESOME. I love the idea of adding a chunk of chocolate… even just one adds flavor through the whole bowl!
Carrie (Moves 'N Munchies) says
wait im SO confusd.. so many people have been talking about Valentines day but don’t we have like 2 weeks?.. maybe im just very last minute! nonetheless I am loving this combo and will probably eat it BEFORE Valentines Day
top five: greek yogurt, nut butters, oatmeal, cottage cheese, cinnamon or sf syrup!
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Hahahaha yeah! But I have so many V-day recipe ideas that I have to start early! 🙂 🙂
Kate (What Kate is Cooking) says
Squash, nut butter, cheese, chocolate, and yogurt are my top five!
Jennie says
My top five: oatmeal, almond butter, greek yogurt, mangoes, super dark chocolate.
Curious – do you use steel cut oats or rolled oats for your oatmeal recipes?
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Oddly enough, I used Quaker quick oats for this recipe! Normally, I am in LOVE with Old Wessex Irish-Style Oats (a green container). I can’t recommend those highly enough. But I ran out, and this was all we had in the house. It was yummy, just the same :).
Liz @ Tip Top Shape says
That oatmeal almost looks too good!!! Alright, top five foods:
1) Red Velvet Cupcakes
2) Farro
3) any type of soup
4) Coffe, coffee, coffee
5) trail mix
abby says
me too! red velvet cupcakes! well, maybe not my top five, because i hardly ever eat them. too bad there aren’t more occasions calling for red velvet cupcakes in our everyday lives!
Erika @ Food.Fitness.Fun says
That oatmeal looks pretty! Very Valentine’s Day appropriate. 🙂
My Top 5 Foods are: Peanut Butter, Chocolate, Mexican food, Bread, and cheese! <3 Mmmm…
Julia says
Great oats!
I love pretty much any kind of sweet, bananas, pizza, all veggies!, and nut butters.
rebecca lustig says
i feel like you could start your own valentines day business of some sort. i mean ‘chocolate covered _____’ screams love. ha!
abby says
and sell fudge babies! 🙂
Leslie says
That’s the most beautiful oatmeal I’ve ever seen!
I can’t pick 5 favorite foods, because it changes. But chocolate is definitely always one :).
Jenny says
It seems impossible to pin down 5 favourite foods! I’m amazed you managed to pick some — must’ve been difficult!
I can’t pick five… But my top seven would be: BREAD, blueberries, apples, carrots, chocolate, nut butter, and spinach. I have many other favourites obviously but those are the five things I’ve loved ever since childhood~
Heather says
Dark chocolate, oatmeal, bananas, avocados and cheese!
I would have added peanut butter…but it appears I am developing an allergy:( How devastating!
eatandrun says
Mmmm that first photo is my favorite. 🙂
Steph - VegFortWorth says
Picking just five is hard . . . tofu, broccoli, clementines, corn tortillas, nutritional yeast (I count it as a food!).
Caitlin (EatFeats) says
Valentine’s Day is the best! I’m already wearing my holiday socks.
I really like pizza, burritos, asparagus, nut butters/nut bars/nuts, and sweet potatoes. Delicious question!
abby says
i can’t pick just 5! i’m indecisive! ok, if you make me. ummm, chocolate, peanut butter, coconut butter (thanks to you), oatmeal, and bananas!
abby says
oh and sweet potatoes. see, i can’t pick 5!
Healthy Chocoholic says
Yuuuuuum you’re making me crave oatmeal!
My top five foods:
Chocolate

Yogurt
Sarena (The Non Dairy Queen) says
Looks delicious! YUM! Mine would be oatmeal, apples, cantaloupe, lettuce and tomatoes. They are all my favorites!
Melissa says
Oats, bananas, nut butter, almond milk, kale — but it’s HARD cause I also want to put beans, apples, asparagus and brussels on there. Oh and broccoli. SOB. I’m not counting stevia/cinnamon/vanilla as foods but they get used daily in my house.
Okay, hang on…
oats, fruit, vegetables, nuts/seeds, legumes, cocoa.
Bazinga, there we go. 😉 LOL.
Melissa says
Except I can’t COUNT and I still did 6.
Hah.
Just combine the legumes with the nuts/seeds. They are all the same general thing anyway. 😉
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Oh yeah, you have to include the seasonings. Oatmeal is one of my favorites… but it’d be pretty boring without seasonings or add-ins. So I’ll give you some leeway hehe.
Allison @ Happy Tales says
hmm… good question!!
oats
roasted brussel sprouts
hummus
any pb/chocolate combination
airpopped popcorn
abby says
good call on the roasted sprouties :)!
Valerie says
My favorite foods? Ha! I can’t have favorite foods. In my house, it’s all about what the KIDS want. Mommy doesn’t get a say. If all three kids will agree on a food, THAT becomes my new favorite food :). Still, sometimes after the kids go to bed, there will be a glass of wine… Or maybe a sip, before one of them wakes up and needs mommy to get rid of the monsters under his bed? Oh well, I wouldn’t have it any other way ;).
Mel says
My favorite foods are: oatmeal, chocolate, nuts, yogurt (which I sadly can’t eat anymore), and fruit
Erika @ Health and Happiness in LA says
Peanut butter, chocolate, potatoes, roasted brussels sprouts, BBQ sauce, apples. Sorry that’s six… what a hard question!
bitt says
I just so happen to have raspberries in the freezer..yum!
top 5 favorites: chocolate, berries, cookies, kale chips, carrots. really random but i am sure if you asked me tomorrow it would be different!
Brandi says
Top five foods, hmmmmm…..vanilla almond granola, dried cranberries sweetened with apple juice, bananas, brussel sprouts(pretty much anyway), and sweet potatoes. Oh this should be a top ten favorite foods.
Blog is the New Black says
I love the title of this! Haha!
Alex@Spoonful of Sugar Free says
OMG! One of my favorite books of all time is The Five People You Meet in Heaven!!! It is so touching, and it has a great story 🙂
My top 5 fav foods: Peanut Butter, Unsweetened chocolate, sweet taters, Olives, red bell peppers…I could list a whole bunch more!
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
I actually haven’t read that book! I keep meaning to get around to it!
Alex@Spoonful of Sugar Free says
It is so good, Katie! You really should read it!
Sabine @ thefruitpursuit says

Chocolate-Covered Katie says

Alexandra (Veggin' Out in the Kitchen) says
Durian? I’ve never even heard of it. Maybe I’ve spoken to soon! I’m definitely going to look for it and give it a try. I’ll be sure and let you know what I think once I try it – it might turn to fruit (ALMOST every kind) 🙂
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Oops, forget I mentioned it!! No really, do! It’s awful, and it smells like something rotten. LOL but I’d love to know if you like it. Someone in the world must!
Emily says
I made the tiramisu fudge! It is awesome. And I am stoked about homemade coconut butter!!!! I made a whole jar for 3 dollars.
Tiramisu Fudge
Layer one:
4 Tbs Coconut Butter
1/2 Banana
1 Tbs cocoa powder
Pinch of Salt and Cinnamon
-Blend and freeze while you make layer 2
Layer 2:
Tofutti Cream Cheese
(you can add sweetener but I tried it and HATED it. I don’t know why but it was terrible.)
-Spread it on layer 1 and stick it back in the freezer
Layer 3
2 Tbs Coconut Butter (don’t use all almond butter because it won’t set up)
2 Tbs Almond Butter
1 Tbs STRONG coffee
1/2 Banana
-Blend, spread it on layer 2 and freeze.
YAY!
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Oh Emily, WOW. That’s all I can say.
Also, I tried to comment on your blog and it won’t let me (I don’t have an open id, I guess). But I wanted to thank you for the sweet mention a few days ago (in your chocolate oatmeal post). It was so sweet… as are you!

Hehe, I think that raw blondie is right up your alley…in fact, now I’m picturing it topped with melty coconut butter…ooohh!
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Oh no, don’t do that to me! Cruel and unusual punishment to tease a girl who is out of cashews at the moment! 😉
Amber Shea @Almost Vegan says
No worries, you could use macnuts instead!
Faith @ lovelyascharged says
Hmm, lets see, five favorite foods? Pasta, guacamole, minnestrone soup (yeah that’s got a lot of foods, but who’s counting?), bagels, and ice cream.

PEANUT BUTTER
Greek yogurt
Raspberries
Runners up: carrots, green grapes, tomato soup, hummus…all good stuff.)
Kelsey @ Snacking Squirrel says
Katie, this is the most beautiful oatmeal i’ve ever witnessed with my own eyes 🙂 <3
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Aw wow, thank you Kelsey! Don’t think I can take credit, though… with such beautiful ingredients as chocolate and raspberries, it’s hard to mess up, right? 😉
Emma says
did you puree the raspberries at all before putting them in the next morning? They look so tiny~!
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
No, but they were frozen to begin with, so they weren’t all completely whole. Also, when I stirred them in, they thawed and fell apart a bit. 🙂
Patricia says
I am unable to eat oatmeal (it gives me wicked heartburn), is there any way to make this recipe with chia or tapioca?
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Sorry, I don’t know. But you can use spelt flakes, quinoa flakes, kamut flakes, or even barley or bulgur! 🙂
MC says
Oh my goodness, that looks like a delicious bowl of oatmeal. Mm oatmeal, berries, chocolate…
Lauren says
Katie – I just made this for dinner using the “pudding technique” and It was PHENOMENAL. By FAR my favorite oatmeal recipe. I cannot wait for breakfast tomorrow so I can have it again 🙂

haha I’m a little late commenting on this one. But I am going through all your posts, and so the date is a little irrelevant to me :p I love all your recipes, and thought I should dedicate some time going through your blog to discover all the recipes I may have missed!
Top 5 Foods:
Oats
Nut Butter
Perogies
Spinach
Broccoli
Thanks for sharing your recipes with us! 🙂
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Aww haha comments on old posts always make me smile! 🙂
P.S. I haven’t had a perogie in so long. Maybe I should try making my own… sweet potato sounds really good!
Carly says
Just made this for brekkie and it was awesome!!
Stacey says
I thought I was being original making something similar this morning, but of course you already had it covered 🙂 I made McCann’s Quick and Easy Irish Oat per the directions on the box, and then mixed in some raspberry preserves, about 10 chocolate chips, slivered almonds, dried cherries, and a little bit of brown sugar. It’s not quite as healthy as your version, but it was super easy and delish! Also, the raspberry preserves is already sweet, so I didn’t need that much sugar added.
Bharathy says
Hi Katie,
Your picture here had been copied by the site here as many of ours.
We are filling up a form and placing a complaint to google to cease shameless the action by this particular blogger!
The blogger is lifting (and that’s what she does instead of posting on her own) continuously, not abiding to our mails and warnings and have commercialised her space!
Would be lovely if you would place your complaint here!

Thanks in advance,

Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Hi Bharathy,
I’m confused… you didn’t leave a link as to where the site’s being copied.
Pipsa says
Must answer the question as I ran into this oldish recipe. So top 5 foods:
1. oatmeal
2. peanut butter
3. carrots
4. dark chocolate
5. apples
Other important stuff not quite making the cut: blackcurrants, blueberries, ryebread, natural yogurt, cauliflower, zucchini.
Julia Smith says
Yumm! And uh where is the Boston Cream Pie?? 😛 I NEED that in my life LOL! 😀 Haha could I have a link please? Thanks!! 🙂
Kayla says
Top 7 foods (couldn’t do just 5:P): Chocolate, Avocado, oatmeal, pasta, raspberries, mango, cheesecake.
Not in any particular order though.
As for this recipe, it is wonderful! 🙂 I’ve been eyeballing it for a while but I never had frozen raspberries.. Or even normal raspberries, as they’re crazy expensive. A week or so ago they were on sale at the store and me and my mom bought 16 packs! So I definitely had some to freeze! 🙂
I decided to make this today in a way that would challenge my eating disorder, as I was struggling a lot yesterday.. So I made not 1/3 cup oats, but 1/2 cup oats.
I made it all this morning with 1/2 cup milk (The store ran out of almond milk, which threw me into anxiety, but whatever) and 1/2 cup water, as we don’t have any creamer. I made it on the stove then added the raspberries along with a little but of cream cheese (which made it beyond creamy.. I’m not vegan obviously), and a bit of sweetener, and then topped it off with a square of 85% Ghiradelli chocolate (darkest we have in my town.. I stocked up on the only 4 left and I got like 6 of the 72%.. It was on sale for 95 cents too!!) . One of the best things I’ve ever tasted. It got me just the right amount of full and didn’t make me feel guilty and heavy. 🙂
After I added cream cheese I thought of some sort of cheesecake oatmeal. 😉 I might have to experiment with it.. Maybe create my first recipe. 😛
Alexis says
This oatmeal was incredible! Chocolate in oatmeal is a wonderful to start the morning!! It was so good I couldn’t wait for it to cool down, so a little bit of a burnt tongue but worth it! 🙂
Kali says
This is basically my default breakfast.:D Great minds!
I have a jar full of a 2 parts oatmeal to 1 part muesli mix (I like the chewiness of the muesli with the softness of the oats). I mix that equal parts with frozen red berries and soya milk or water if I’m broke, then throw in four squares of chocolate and microwave.^_^ Takes two minutes.
AJ says
Hi Katie,
I made this for breakfast this morning using a batch of your “Voluminous Oatmeal” from the night before. I used 1/2 scoop of vanilla protein powder instead of the creamer, and added a drizzle of honey for sweetener. The oatmeal turned out delicious! Thanks for the great recipe!
Kat says
I had some 100% Ghirardelli squares in the freezer that I wanted to eat today, so I doubled this recipe for my brother and I and he loved it! Haha, he ate it even faster than I did, and I am a chocolate fiend!! 🙂 Keep up the good work!
Victor says
holy… wow… This might be my new favorite recipe on your blog… I made a double batch for breakfast for me and my roommate last night… Ate it this morning. I was not expecting it to be as good as it was. And by good, I mean, I might actually prefer to eat this over regular desserts. Like if someone offered me the chocolate chip cookie dough and this after dinner, I might choose this. I HIGHLY recommend using the melted banana trick she mentioned to anyone reading. I was extremely dubious of it at first but gave it a try and wow… She’s serious about the flavor-adding powers of it. The melted banana flavor mixed with the tart raspberries was insanely delicious… This was the best oatmeal I’ve ever had and I make pretty extravagant oatmeals…. This oatmeal comes out being extremely creamy as well. Unbelievable. Thank you so much for this ingenious and simple recipe Katie… woahwoahwoahwoahwoahwoah
