***Giveaway Closed***
My lucky winner, with comment #94, is MamaChocolate! Congrats, and happy oat-making! 🙂
Original Post:
You might remember my recent review of Tropical Traditions organic oats.
Well, now Tropical Traditions wants to offer one of my readers the chance to win a bag of their own! 🙂
These oats are no longer just a review product for us – they are officially a product we purchase for use in our home. Â We liked them so much, we’re currently waiting for another bag to arrive!
Why am I so excited about some simple oats? Because they’re anything but. I love the fact that Tropical Traditions thick rolled whole grain oats are not only certified organic, but they’re also thick, dense and chewy, and add a great hearty texture to our overnight oats.
One of the main reasons I love a bowl of morning oats so much is that they are never the same twice. There are so many ways to enjoy them! I’ve even seen people prepare savory oats with ingredients like cheese and eggs! My daily breakfast usually differs based on what’s in season and what I happen to have on hand.
Here are a few of my favorite combinations:
- Banana, chopped dates, cardamom and a drizzle of honey
- Shredded coconut and cacao nibs or dark chocolate chips/shavings
- Artisana Cacao Bliss and fresh black cherries
- Blueberries, almond slivers and lemon zest
- Raisins, dried cranberries, cinnamon and granola (like an oatmeal raisin cookie!)
- Chopped banana and Tierra Farm Chocolate Hazelnut butter (Nutella who!?)
- Pumpkin, nutmeg, cinnamon and crumbled graham crackers or granola
- Granola, almond butter and Crofter’s Superfruit spread (hits the spot like a PB&J!)
- 1/2 oats, 1/2 cooked millet with cardamom, coconut milk, toasted coconut and lime zest.

Have you tried savory oats yet? Like, adding cheese and broccoli, yum! It’s kind of a weird breakfast combo as it’s not usually a breakfast kind of flavor, but it really works! Great for lunch and dinner too 🙂
I haven’t…but I’m willing to try anything! I will have to skip the egg I’ve seen in some recipes. I haven’t eaten an egg in about 20 years! The broccoli and cheese sounds right up my alley, though…
Great review! I’m actually wanting a bowl of oatmeal right now, your ideas sound delicious!

I guess the first tweet was ok…I’ve never seen my tweet links come up this way b4. Sorry about the duplicate.
I like my oats with fresh or canned diced peaches, a little drizzle of honey or agave and some chopped walnuts or pecans.
Tastes like a peach cobbler…YUM!!!
I love turning my oats into maple granola, by mixing them with oil and maple syrup, then baking them. It’s delicious topped with walnuts, sliced banana, and rice milk.

for my morning oats, I usually add some honey or pure maple syrup (we just finished boiling down syrup a week or so ago, yummm)

I’m pretty boring when it comes to oatmeal. I add some wheat germ, butter, lots of brown sugar, and half&half. Sometimes bananas if we have them. The most important thing about oatmeal for me is that it not be too cooked or watery/mushy. I usually buy regular rolled oats (not those quick ones) and add a little boiling water and let them sit for a few minutes – no additional cooking!
