We are back! It has been an amazing vacation and it has taken us a little while to get back into the swing of things but we are back to share some more yummy recipes and fun DIY’s with you. We just spent nice long weekend visiting my parents in NH where we could relax and plan a few things for the future (stay tuned!). Whilst we planned and crafted we also enjoyed trying some new recipes, one of which we are here to share with you today. This is no ordinary oatmeal. What makes it so special you ask? Well, this delicious pile of oats is made with chai tea.
I love a good bowl of oatmeal in the morning and I also love a good cup of tea in the morning. Why not combine the tea with some chai tea oatmeal?! This oatmeal is warm, spicy, and energizing; the perfect thing to wake you up in the morning.
Ingredients:
Serves 1
- 1/2 cup oats
- 1 cup milk or water (we used almond milk)
- 1 chai tea bag
- Toppings of your choice such as honey, nuts, fruit
Directions:
- Boil 1 cup of milk or water in a saucepan over medium heat.
- Add the oats and the tea bag and stir consistently for 5-10 minutes or until the liquid is gone.
- Take the tea bag out and top your oats with whatever you like!
That’s it! A super simple recipe to change up your morning oats. We made ours with almond milk and found it creamy and delicious but feel free to just use water. If you prefer stronger chai tasting oats then you could put two tea bags in. We drizzled ours with some honey and pecans but you can throw on any toppings you prefer.
Is it excessive to also have a cup of tea with this oatmeal? Nah…
Tell us, what are your go to oatmeal toppings?
Love this Idea! Must taste yummy with some maple syrup
Oats without maple syrup – unthinkable :). I fancy trying this though, rather like chai tea.

You definitely should give it a try! You can even drizzle some maple syrup right on top if you want to!
