How To Make Your Oats Savory
When you think of oatmeal, it’s usually topped with blueberries and strawberries and sweetened with honey or brown sugar. But oats don’t have to be sweet. Oats are a blank canvas, like rice or grits. You can practically turn them into any style of dish you want, including savory oats. They can be cheesy, include vegetables, and even imitate chili.
if you’re like me and love a good savory breakfast, these oatmeal recipes are a must try. Push aside your bacon and eggs and get ready for these savory oats.
My first recipe for fall-inspired oats was inspired by this Brussel Sprouts and Sweet Potato Overnight Oats with Pancetta and Tahini recipe. I changed it up to my liking- and it turned out really good.
The second recipe is for cheesy oats with egg white. As a cheese and egg lover, this recipe was absolutely delicious. You can switch it up to your liking by changing the protein from bacon to sausage or using different greens. This recipe serves more as a blueprint for your taste.
And the last recipe for chili oats was inspired by this vegan, no salt, gluten, sugar, or oil recipe. However I switched up some things because I am not vegan and I enjoy salt.
