5. Oatmeal With Cheddar and Scallion

Oatmeal with Cheddar and Scallion (new)

A sprinkling of shredded cheddar, paprika, and a flurry of chopped scallions elevate this savory oatmeal from the ordinary to the inspired. If you want to get a jump-start on a busy morning, make a large pot of oatmeal the evening before (or overnight in the slow cooker!) and simply reheat and garnish to taste when you’re ready to eat.

 

6. Easy Granola

Easy Granola (new)

Do-it-yourself granola may sound like a project, but it couldn’t be simpler—or more delicious. (Trust us: try it and you’ll never crave the store-bought stuff again.) This basic recipe is foolproof and endlessly customizable. Prefer sunflower seeds to pepitas? They’ll work. Wild about dried cranberries? Just have fun with it.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups old-fashioned rolled oats (not quick cooking)
  • 1 cup sliced almonds
  • ½ cup shredded coconut (preferably unsweetened)
  • ¼ cup unsalted pepitas (hulled pumpkin seeds) or shelled sunflower seeds
  • ½ cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup dried fruit (such as cherries, cranberries, raisins, or currants)

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 350°F. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss the oats, almonds, coconut, and pepitas with the maple syrup, oil, and salt.

  2. Bake, tossing once, until golden and crisp, 25 to 30 minutes.

  3. Add the dried fruit and toss to combine. Let cool.
