Key Lime Pie Oatmeal Recipe
There are so many ways you can make oatmeal! All of them are fast and easy for breakfast. This key lime pie oatmeal is absolutely delicious and changes the oatmeal scenery.
Oats are also a great source of:
- Manganese
- Phosphorous
- Copper and
- Vitamin B
But, since it’s coconut week, I’ll share one of my favorite ways to make oatmeal. We call it, Key Lime Pie.
Oatmeal is a delicious way to eat a healthy and filling breakfast! This breakfast can fill me up for hours. For this oatmeal, we cooked some regular oatmeal, and then for flavor added lime zest, coconut, and crushed graham crackers.
Need more inspiration? I look through the dessert recipes in my cookbook. It’s easy to think of more ideas, like: Strawberry shortcake, peanut butter cookie, chocolate chip cookie, PB-Chocolate chip cookie, smores, apple crisp, etc. 
Can you think of a dessert that would make a delicious oatmeal?

I’m still in the “convincing stage” with my brother to eat oatmeal. He is an egg and sausage kind of boy every morning. Which isn’t a bad thing…but I want him to realize how great oats are! Maybe this will do the trick 🙂
I haven’t ever made oatmeal with milk instead of water. I am going to try that. My kids like the “apple pie” oatmeal with dried apple pieces and cinnamon or the “strawberry shortcake” oatmeal with pieces of frozen strawberries and bannana stirred in. I am going to try this “key lime pie” oatmeal in the morning. I like the idea of adding vanilla and lime juice.
This sounds wonderful. My boys like oatmeal, but can be picky about it. I think they will love this! Thank you.
I love it, thanks Amy! 🙂
What a great idea! I’ll be trying this soon. Recently on vacation I was at a nice restaurant for breakfast and ordered creme brulee oatmeal! It was fabulous. It was oatmeal topped with bananas, blueberries, and the signature creme brulee burnt sugar topping.
Your pie looks pretty good. I`ll try to make it for my son. He is overweight but he still likes pastries and pies.
Mary: Really Mary? We make it with milk a lot! Hope you like it!
Jen Mmmmm. That does sound good! Restaurants are the best inspiration.
This does sound like dessert Amy. You always give me good ideas!
I tried this a few days ago and loved it! Thanks for the great recipe. Now, I just have to convince my DH and DS that they’ll love it too 🙂
