Earl grey oatmeal with honey broiled grapefruit is a delicious, healthy breakfast to start your day! (gluten-free, vegetarian, dairy-free option)
Y’all. I am so excited. I got a new range. (This one from KitchenAid. It’s amazing.)
Oh, the things that make you excited when you’re a real live grownup. Isn’t adulting fun?
But really, I’m pumped. When Mr. Table and I bought our house a few years ago, we didn’t get to pick our appliances, it just came with some. And I quickly found out that our builder had put the very cheapest appliances possible in our kitchen. And I cursed him every day for it.
I can deal with a cheap microwave or dishwasher. But a cheap oven/range? Not ideal for someone whose livelihood revolves around telling people how to cook things at the right temperature for the right amount of time.
The last straw came when I tried to broil a grapefruit to create this recipe. The broiler in our old oven was the absolute worst. Y’all, it took me 20 minutes to broil a grapefruit. 20 MINUTES! I was not a happy camper and decided that day that it was time to invest in a new range. So it’s finally here and I can finally broil things like the food blogger that I am. Praise the Lord!
All of that to say, this earl grey oatmeal with honey broiled grapefruit was in a roundabout way the single most expensive recipe I’ve ever developed. An oatmeal recipe. And don’t get me wrong, it tastes really darn amazing. But is it worth thaaat much money? Wellll….
First of all, earl grey oatmeal. Mr. Table looks at me like I’m crazy every time I infuse my oatmeal with tea. But if you’ve never tried it, it’s really stinkin’ good. You should absolutely try it. Especially with a little drizzle of good quality honey.
BUT THEN you top it with some luxurious honey broiled grapefruit and some toasted almonds for a little crunch, and you’ve got a combination of flavors and textures that is absolutely divine. It’s a healthy, delicious breakfast that might actually make you crave oatmeal on a weekend.
Yes I said it, you’ll crave oatmeal on the weekends. Specifically this earl grey oatmeal with honey broiled grapefruit. And hopefully you won’t have to buy a new range to get it in your belly.

Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup milk of choice
- 2 earl grey tea bags, or equivalent in loose earl grey tea
- 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 1 tsp honey
- 1 large pink grapefruit
- 2 tbsp sliced almonds
- Extra honey, for topping
Instructions
- Place oven rack 3-4 inches under the broiler and heat broiler to high.
- Using a paring knife, remove peel from outside of grapefruit and remove segments from the inner membranes. Place on a baking sheet lined with foil, parchment, or a silicone baking mat.

- In a small saucepan, bring water and milk to a gentle boil over low heat with tea submerged in the liquid. Let the mixture simmer gently for about 5 minutes before removing the tea.
- Add the oats and cook, stirring, over low heat until oats have absorbed all of the liquid, about 5 minutes.
- Spoon oatmeal into two bowls. Top each with grapefruit and almonds. Drizzle with extra honey, if you’d like.
