What up breakfast Sunday?!
It has become a pattern that every year, as we begin to get closer and closer to Spring (aka brunch season!), I become more and more obsessed with breakfast.
Well, to be honest, I am always obsessed with breakfast, but now through spring, I just seem to be overly OBSESSED. 🙂
I just love breakfast. Actually, what I really love is breakfast for lunch and dinner, but either way, breakfast foods are the best! I wanted to share this super quick and healthy recipe of Banana Oatmeal with Ricotta, Honey, Orange and Toasted Buckwheat today, as it’s one of my go-to warm bowls. I love the combo of savory ricotta to sweet honey mixed together with creamy oats. I always add a banana, because well, bananas are my favorite. I also add a blood orange, because they are beautiful, in season and so delicious. Then for an extra healthy crunch, I top it all off with toasted buckwheat!
Such a simple bowl, yet extra healthy and delish, I am so into it!
Thought: what if we turned Sunday into Brunchday?!? Every Sunday I could share new breakfast recipes?!?! Oh, I love this idea…what do you guys think??!
While for now, let’s feast on this healthy bowl of oats! Hope you guys all have a great, fun and relaxing day!
Banana Oatmeal with Ricotta, Honey, Orange and Toasted Buckwheat.
Ingredients
- 1 cup old fashioned oats
- 1 1/2 cups milk of choice (I like goat milk, almond milk or coconut milk
- 1 cup water
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- Pinch of sea salt or kosher salt
- dollops of fresh whole milk ricotta
- 1 banana, sliced
- 1 orange, sliced
- drizzle of honey or honeycomb
Toasted Buckwheat
- 1/2 cup raw buckwheat groats
- 2 teaspoons maple syrup or honey
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
- salt
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the oats, milk and water. Bring the mixture to a low boil and then simmer over medium low heat, stirring often until the liquid has been absorbed and the oats have thickened, about 15 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla (if using) and salt. If your oatmeal gets too thick, thin with more milk.
- Top with a dollops of ricotta, bananas, oranges plus a drizzle of honey. Finish with toasted buckwheat (see below)
Toasted Buckwheat
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add the buckwheat, maple or honey and coconut oil. Sprinkle with salt. Toss well to combine, making sure everything is evenly coated. Bake for 10 minutes or until the buckwheat is toasted.

P.S. Before she left, Mom greatly enjoyed the oats as well…double the ricotta + an extra drizzle of honey. 🙂
I am ALL for sundays becoming brunch days on HBH!! You go girl!! 😀
Thank you!
Buckwheat is so good! Just this morning I took a huge batch out of the dehyd’r. I love to soak it overnight, rinse REALLY well then dry it. Its always ready to sprinkle on something. My daughter suggested that we mix it into the next batch of Quinoa SuperFood bars…we’ve made three batches so far! Thanks for the inspiration.
Oh yum! That sounds awesome!! :)THANK YOU!
This sounds so delicious, healthy and easy! Love it!! xo

Mmmm, Sunday brunch ideas sound great, I love breakfast foods any any occasion too! My Sunday bowl breakfast consisted of Greek yogurt mixed with peanut butter and topped with granola and a banana…not nearly as pretty or tasty as yours though!

Wow this looks amazing!! I am excited to try it, maybe breakfast for dinner tonight!
I LOVE the idea of Sunday breakfast recipes!! I think you should also share where you get your gorgeous dishes from as well! 🙂
Hello Tieghan, I have made four recipes from your website this past week and all were delicious. But more importantly they rekindled my love of cooking! In november I published my first book (on edible gardening) and though I’m very happy with the result, I felt exhausted for months and all the things I normally love doing (gardening, cooking, writing..) suddenly felt like a chore. So I would like to thank you for that – I feel excited about cooking (and gardening) again.
I can only imagine how much hard work is behind the scenes of your blog – it’s incredible that you manage to publish so many excellent & beautifully photographed recipes every week and are writing a cookbook at the same time. I am very much looking forward to your book! Take care, Vera
Wow, thank you so much!! Your kind words have me smiling ear to ear! 🙂
I always battle with breakfast ideas. This sounds great, I am going to try it tomorrow morning 🙂
Breakfast goals over here! Love the colors, it looks delicious!
Such a gorgeous weekend breakfast! These toppings look wonderful!
This does look delicious. Yes, Sunday brunch recipes sound great.
Breakfast looks great.
Hope you are doing well while your family is gone.
