Another recipe that uses the blender/food-processor/hand-blender technique:
Creamy & Cozy Oatmeal
1/2 cup rolled oats (or one serving of your grain of choice; the photo is of whole-grain Cream of Wheat)
1 container applesauce (the little 113gram containers, not one entire jar!)
½ tsp cinnamon
milk of choice (I use almond milk)
dash salt
Other optional ingredients that might be nice:
raisins, dates, nuts, chocolate… oops, how’d that last one sneak onto the list?!
Cook up a serving of oatmeal, using milk of choice in place of the water. Add the applesauce and cinnamon to the cooked oatmeal, and mix together. You could stop here, and it’d taste delicious… BUT if you *really* want to experience oatmeal nirvana, take this next step: Using a hand-blender (or transferring the mixture to a regular blender or food processor), blend all the ingredients together. The resulting oatmeal is so super-creamy it’s amazing!

While I like Cream of What – I just am not feeling this one. Though it is funny to imagine you with your hand-blender – I know how fun those are – I just want to blend everything when I get mine out!

A whole container of applesauce? Like, a whole jar? Or do you mean those little single-serving cups? In any case, it looks so yummy and comforting 🙂

Wow, that is so cool! I definitely need to try this out! Oh, and I’m all for chocolate sneaking in anything and everything :o)
Vaala says
Man, I’m actually feeling a bit guilty I didn’t have oatmeal for breakfast today (can I restart the day and try again?!)! You make it look (and sound) so delicious!!

Hey! Wait! I got a new complaint. Forever in debt to your priceless adviiiccceee…your adviiiicccee…sorry your nirvana comment got Smells Like Teen Spirit stuck in my head.
Anyway, I love how so many of your recipes start with “Little Vegan.” You should make a Little Vegan cookzine. It’d be so cute.

Andrea–
Hmmm, yeah, chocolate just seems to somehow sneak its way into lots of areas of my life, especially where food is concerned! I wonder how it’d taste in spaghetti…
No, don’t worry; I’m not going to try it!
