This is the new favorite way to eat oatmeal at our house.  Recently, someone posted a blog post on Facebook about how to do this.  When I went back to find it, I couldn’t turn it up.  So I had to try it on memory, and what I came up with worked well.  I hope you enjoy it.  If you know who originally posted that recipe, please let me know so I can give credit where credit is due.

(Edit: the blog post I saw is here.  Thank you velcromom for letting me know!)

This recipe will work with oatmeal that has fruit or sweetener added but it won’t work well if the oatmeal had a lot of extra fluid, like milk or cream, added after cooking. It’s better to cook the oatmeal, place what you want to set aside in the fridge and then add the extra cream or milk to what you’ll be serving for breakfast that day.  I love planned leftovers!

Fried Oatmeal
From the Menu Mailer
Volume 4 Week 15

flour to coat
4 Tbs coconut oil
Leftover cooked oatmeal, refrigerated until cold and firm

Place the flour in a shallow bowl. Add salt if you did not salt the oatmeal before refrigerating it. Set aside.

In a heavy-bottomed skillet, heat the oil over medium heat.

Scoop the cold oatmeal out in 2 Tablespoon portions and gently pat into a small patty. Flour both sides. Fry for about 3 minutes per side, until browned and nicely crispy.

My kids love this served with a small drizzle of maple syrup.

    I do something similar with our leftover oatmeal. I mix up 1 egg with the already sweetened oatmeal and then fry it in butter by the spoonfuls. Of course, coconut oil works fine too. Serve with another pat of butter on top…yum! I think I got this from NT.

    You have converted my husband and oldest son! Neither one cares for oatmeal, though soaking it with some buckwheat and whey does make it more palatable, but both scarfed it down this morning! We don’t usually end up with leftovers, so I will be making extra from now on. This is such an easy and yummy fall breakfast!

    I made this for breakfast this morning and the oatmeal completely fell apart in the pan. I used almond flour. Not sure what I did wrong!

      Leah, almond flour doesn’t function like regular flour in frying. It doesn’t have the same binding capabilities. You’d need a true flour or a starch to get the same grab.
