Earl Grey Blueberry Oatmeal.

Time for yet another breakfast recipe!
Yep, pretty sure it’s no secret that I’ve been super into breakfast foods lately. This quinoa breakfast bowl, these beignets, and these yummy crepes…all posted within the last few weeks…are all good examples. So yeah, it’s safe to say that I’m on a roll with the breakfast recipes. Anyone else having a major moment with breakfast?
When I was a kid, I wasn’t really that into breakfast. In fact, I still don’t eat a large meal right after waking, I need some time in the morning, which is why I almost always save big breakfasts for lunch. When we can, this is my mom and I’s thing we share for a little mid-week fun.
Anyway, when we were growing up my mom would always try to get us to eat oatmeal, but my siblings and I always opted for cereal, frozen waffles or bagels. Typical kids right?
As I got older though and learned a little more about how a healthy breakfast is so important, I began making oatmeal and topping it with a little honey and fresh fruit. It was simple, healthy and totally delish. Plus, me being the fruit freak that I am, I topping my oatmeal with seasonal fruit instantly got me obsessed! This combo also became an easy snack, and to this day, I love oatmeal, whether it’s for breakfast, lunch, or a quick snack!
I’m really excited to be partnering with Pure Growth Organic to bring you one of my favorite oatmeal recipes. If you’re unfamiliar with Pure Growth Organic, they sell healthy organic snacks and oatmeal. Whenever Asher comes over, she always heads straight for the pantry and grabs their animal crackers. They are her favorite after school snack!
Today I’m using their Original Oatmeal and adding in the flavors of earl grey tea and fresh blueberries! YUMMM.
For some reason whenever I think of earl grey tea, I always think of pairing it with blueberries. I’m not sure why, but I love the combo…which is probably why I have a recipe in the breakfast chapter of the HBH cookbook for earl grey blueberry muffins!
What I love about this Earl Grey Blueberry Oatmeal recipe is that is it so fast and easy. Here’s how it works. First up, steep your tea in milk. I like to use coconut or goat milk, but any milk will work. Once the milk has been infused with the tea, simply stir in your oatmeal, blueberries, a little vanilla, and honey. Oh, and some chia seeds for a little extra protein and omega 3’s. Simple but perfect in every way.
This is a great recipe for a busy weekday, but equally great for relaxed weekend brunching. I top my bowl with banana slices, fresh blueberries, hemp seeds and a drizzle of honey or maple for just a little extra sweetness.
In other unrelated news, happiest Tuesday! I feel Like I just jumped right into this post without saying hi! How’s everyone’s week started off? Can you believe we are already one week into March? I’m currently dreaming of St. Patrick’s Day and Easter recipes…oh and spring weather! Not sure that spring weather is coming around here anytime soon around her, but a girl can dream!
Any of you planning a fun spring break trip? My family always used to head to Florida for spring break, but I’m not sure the whole crew can make it happen this year. Hoping we can all get together this summer for a fun trip though.
In the meantime, I’ll just be here, cozying up to this warm bowl of oatmeal..topped with an obnoxious amount of blueberries.

This oatmeal makes for an easy and tasty breakfast
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 earl grey tea bag
- 1 packet Pure Growth Organic Original Oatmeal
- 1/4 cup fresh blueberries, plus more for serving
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon honey

Instructions
-
1. Heat the milk in a small sauce pot until just scalding, remove from the heat, add the tea bag, cover and steep for 10 minutes. Remove the tea bag and stir in the oatmeal and blueberries. If the milk is not warm enough to cook the oats, gently heat the mix on the stove and stir until thickened, if needed add water to thin slightly.

3. Spoon into a bowl and top with banana slices, blueberries, honey, and hemp seeds. Eat!
For real though, this pretty bowl of oatmeal is the best. Can’t get enough!

i had a cup of leftover milk tea one day, and used it in my oatmeal. best oatmeal i’ve ever had. it was plain black tea, but earl grey sounds much tastier! i’m planning on going home for spring break, but there might be a spontaneous trip to portland (my stomach says yes, my wallet says HA nope).
Yes!! I like earl grey more but either is delish!
That sounds like so much fun! Always follow your stomach lol!
Looks good, but for me Earl Grey cannot go with milk, only with lemon, go figure!!

Sitting here drinking a nice warm cup of Earl Grey as we speak! Never thought of steeping and adding it to oatmeal! Must give it a try. Hubby and I are going to Bermuda for a long weekend at the end of April. Still too far away to think about!
Ah so funny! Its delish in oatmeal! Must try!
That sounds amazing!! Very jealous.
This is so brilliant! I never would have thought of adding tea to oatmeal, but I love it! Great idea, Tieghan 🙂

Absolutely love this Tieghan. I love earl grey and could have that flavour in everything so this is definitely on my “must make” list this week.
Its grown on me and now i’m really liking it! So happy your gonna make it Debs!! Thanks
Any amount of blueberries is a good amount! The more the better 😉 I love adding tea to absolutely everything that isn’t hot water, like cakes and slices, so I will certainly have to try adding it to my porridge. Thanks for sharing Tieghan!
I love the blueberries so I couldn’t agree more!
I hope you love it Rosie (:
This is such a gorgeous breakfast, earl grey tea with blueberries sounds just perfect!

Such a clever ingredient profile, and it looks incredible. I love the idea of tea-infused milk. I look forward to sharing this with the family. Thanks!

I made this last night with almond milk!!! So so so good! I have just been eating plain oatmeal and suffering through it! Never again! Such wonderful flavours!
Ah yay! So happy you made it!! Excited for delicious oatmeal (:
I’m not typically a fan of oatmeal, but I could get behind a bowl flavored with earl grey and fresh blueberries! I’ll have to give this one a try. I always appreciate your unique and creative flavor combinations. I’ve yet to try a recipe of yours that my family and I haven’t liked. Thanks!!

I eat oatmeal every weekday morning and I love to switch it up. For sure giving this a try.
Yay, hope you love it Kayla!
Oatmeal is my absolute favorite breakfast, but I never thought about infusing tea with milk! Brilliant! I can’t wait to try this! Question – are the flowers edible and if so, what type are they? Thanks!
They are edible! They are micro orchids. 🙂 thanks!
I made this today using almond milk! Added flaxseeds, blue and blackberries, and cinnamon on top. Cant wait to make this again tomorrow morning! Will definitely add in more like bananas and cacao nibs. Thank you for inspiration!
So happy you liked it Melissa! Thank you!
Oatmeal has never looked so pretty!!
Awh, thank you Hailey!
Omg I live in Abu Dhabi and I am trying hard to use up lots of food before departing at the end of May. I have the most divine honey from the rare emirati bees that we’re living in my garden. Earl grey is my absolute favourite tea – this is so so good but did need to add extra water but the taste was sublime!
WOW! Thats so cool!
Very jealous of the fresh honey!
So happy you liked it, thank you Sue!
I love the idea of using tea a s s flavouring. Can’t wait to try!
Thank you Kellie! I hope you love this!
Would this work to make in a big batch and heat up when ready to eat each morning, adding the banana, blueberries, hemp seeds and honey on top after?
Yes, that would work great! YOu might need to add a little milk to loosen it up in the morning, but otherwise, that is it! Please let me know if you have other questions. Hope you love this recipe! Thanks! 🙂
LOVE this! Do you have a brand of earl grey tea that you recommend? Also, a brand of tea in general for drinking? 🙂
Hi Meg! Any brand of earl grey tea will work great! Also, I think yogi tea is a great brand for drinking!
How many grams of oatmeal is in one of those packets? I can’t buy them where I live and trust me, I’ve looked!
They are 8 ounce packets. I am not sure of the amount of grams. So sorry! Please let me know if you have any other questions. I hope you love this recipe. Thanks so much and happy Holidays!! xTieghan ?
I’ve made this recipe at least a dozen times before, yet realized I’d never left a comment letting you know how amazing it is. Easily one of my all time favorite breakfasts. Thank you so much for sharing 🙂
Ah that is so amazing! Thank you so much Natalie! xTieghan
