Fried Oatmeal with lemon curd and blueberries

Fried oatmeal with lemon curd and blueberries is going to be your new favorite breakfast!

We had this similar breakfast dish while traveling through Vancouver Island in British Columbia a few years ago.

The restaurant is called Jam Cafe. Oh my gosh it was the best thing I had ever eaten for breakfast!

I think they may deep fry their oatmeal but when I make mine I just pan fry it.

This is such a great way to use up leftover oatmeal! or just make a bunch of oatmeal to keep on hand in the fridge read to go.

Frying the Oatmeal

The key to this is using leftover refrigerated oatmeal. By refrigerating the leftover oatmeal is causes it to stick together which makes it perfect to be able to fry it.

I used a black cast iron frying pan and it came out perfect. Use about 1 Tbsp of butter and melt it in the pan.

Add the block of cold oatmeal to the pan and fry on one side until golden.

Flip the oatmeal over and fry on the other side.

You could fry it longer to get a really golden color but I liked it lightly fried.

If it starts to fall apart as you flip it don’t worry. You can press it back together with a spatula!

Tip- You could place your oatmeal into a rectangle shaped plastic tub in the fridge. Then it will be easier to cut into slices to fry.

I just kept mine in a round shape.

Add yogurt and lemon curd to fried oatmeal

We added dollops of vanilla greek yogurt. Chobani vanilla greek yogurt has a great flavor and it’s not too sweet.

Mrs. Darlington’s lemon curd totally makes this fried oatmeal out of this world good! We used about a tablespoon per serving.

It is so tangy and creamy.

Blueberries and syrup

Sprinkle some fresh blueberries over the top of your lemon curd and yogurt.

I love cooking with blueberries especially for breakfast.

This is another amazing blueberry recipe- Lemon Blueberry cottage cheese pancakes.

For the finishing touch drizzle a little real maple syrup over the top of all of it.

If you like unique flavors for breakfast try these pumpkin ginger waffles or this veggie eggs on toast recipes.

You will thank me later for them! 🙂

I am telling you this fried oatmeal is soooo good!

You will be making extra oatmeal to keep in the fridge to make this all the time!

Karins Kottage

Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!

  • Fried oatmeal ... that sure got my attention! And, then your beautiful photography. Needless to say I've pinned and I'm ready to cook up some oatmeal for frying tomorrow. Looks absolutely delicious! xo

    • I hope you love it as much as I do! Let me know how it turns out! Thanks for stopping by!

  • I've never heard of fried oatmeal before. It looks wonderful. When I make oatmeal though it's creamy and quite liquid so I'm wondering how you cook your oatmeal in the first place to have it look like this? Thanks.

    • Carol I hope you try this fried oatmeal recipe. I just make the oatmeal according the package. It is usually thick...if yours is too runny maybe add a little more oatmeal. The key is to refrigerate the oatmeal overnight is best. Let me know how yours turns out.
