What kind of oatmeal does Starbucks use?
Starbucks uses a combination of rolled and steel cut oats. I used only rolled oats in my copycat and it tasted spot on for the original.
What ingredients do I need to make this recipe?
To make this recipe, you will need:
- Old fashioned oats: You’ll need one cup of oats for this recipe.
- Milk: I recommend almond milk or regular milk.
- Vanilla extract: Pure vanilla extract is best.
- Salt: You’ll need just a pinch
- Cinnamon and nutmeg: To flavor the oatmeal
- Brown sugar: Light brown sugar seems to give this copycat recipe the closest to the original.
- Sliced almonds, walnuts, dried cranberries, and golden raisins: To top the oatmeal with.

The ratio of oatmeal to liquid is off. The taste was really good but it was like stucco. I will try it again using closer to the ratio called for on the package of oatmeal. Thank you for the recipe, the flavor is spot on .

Can you make this ahead and refrigerate and heat up as needed or does it become mushy?
Audrey says
Hi Colleen, I haven’t tried to make this ahead but you could mix the dry ingredients together ahead of time to speed things up. I wish I had more information for you!
