I love the idea of using green tea as the cooking liquid for the oatmeal. I’m trying this recipe ASAP.

That is such a great idea! I’ve heard of boiling your pasta in green tea water – never thought of using it wiht oats!

Good luck!

sounds great! not sure if i would like green tea oatmeal.. dont care for green tea in general. every morning i make a bowl of quaker oats on the stove.. old fashioned 5 min. to cook type.. add raisins, banana or apple.. sm T brown sugar.. and oatmeal.. then enough milk to give it a soupy consistancy.. and thats it. i love it!!!!! very filling and delicious!!!!!!!!! in most countries people eat oats as a staple.. and alot of farmers feed oats to their animals.. so why do most americans NOT eat it themselves????

LOVE QUAKER!!!!
i should visit their factory… wonder if you can do that/?

Noooo Green Tea Oatmeal isn’t popular… GREEN TEA is. I just decided to use it in oatmeal. Why not?!? :~) It’s good for you and adds no calories!

Christy – You aren’t required to like I everything I post! LOL It’s OK! :~) But seriously, I wanted to make a Green Tea Oatmeal for this, as it’s a popular flavor right now.

Guys – Thanks for reminding me about other tea flavors, I wanted to mention that in the recipe and forgot. I so that a lot anymore! LOL

Susan – What a great idea! Toasting the almonds that is!

I have to say this is the first recipe of yours I don’t know if I would try. Don’t get me wrong. I LOVE all things Roni…but green tea oatmeal?? I guess I should try it before I turn up my nose, right. Even though I don’t know if I would like it, I still think you should win. (cause I <3 Roni, remember?) ;-) I might like it if I use peach flavored tea. …oh…maybe some chai tea. Hmm…now you have me thinking about it :-)

I think your pumpkin oatmeal sounded great. I love making apple pie oatmeal (oats, skim milk, brown sugar or splenda brown or honey, ff/sf butter spray)…it is a favorite flavor for me. Oh…and I like Elvis Oatmeal (with PB and banana).

OMG you are a genius for sure! I would never have thought to use a tea bag! This opens up all sorts of wonderous oatmeal possibilities! I bet it would be great with a packet of hot chocolate mix too!
Thanks again for the great ideas!

I am still into the pumpkin oatmeal, but I can’t wait to try this one. I love oatmeal and I appreciate learning new ways to flavor it. Good luck with the contest. I think this one could win.

That sounds so good. What if you toasted the almonds? Delicious! But either way, it sounds great!

This looks really good … and I generally don’t like oatmeal very much. The green tea idea is fantastic and has piqued my interest. Might have to make this for dinner!

Roni:

I must say, that is one mighty-fine looking bowl of oats. To all of the other worthy blogger contestants…you have been called out!! Get cookin’! And may the best bowl of oatmeal win – YUM!!!

This looks really good. I just bought a large container of quick oats on sale, I’m trying to get my kids off the preflavored packets for both health and economy, and I’m going to have to try this. Good luck with Quaker’s contest!

When I heard that you guys would be making oatmeal creations for the contest I was super excited. Yours is the first I’ve seen but I love it!

I really like that you have flavored the water to make it really go all through the bowl. The main problem I have with oatmeal is that by the time I get all the oats to be good and flavored, I have added way too many calories. I will definately try this one soon.
