I have a new, completely savory oatmeal to finish off oatmeal week. It truly hits the spot when you’re craving something savory but also don’t have ample time to whip up a full breakfast hash or frittata. If you think it’s weird to have savory toppings on your oatmeal, think of it more like a breakfast grain bowl. Or think about oats as you would grits, which are usually served in a savoury fashion.
If you have had Chinese congee before, then you'll know that this savoury oatmeal is also very satisfying and comforting. In my opinion, its saltiness makes it taste more like real food than sweet oatmeal. Equally packed with nutrients and umami, this savory oats recipe makes a quick and easy, nutritious, and somehow slightly indulgent-feeling meal. If you want to include oats in your diet but aren’t a fan of sweet breakfast or need a change from the traditional sweet toppings, you’ll love this savoury oatmeal recipe. And, of course, the fact that it takes just 15 minutes to cook. Very manageable in the morning!
Savoury oatmeal is one of those dishes that you try once and wonder why you haven’t had it before. The warm spices and savoury flavour of the oatmeal are a delightful departure from your typical sweet oatmeal. So even if you’re skeptical, I hope you’ll try this savoury oatmeal recipe. It’s easy, healthy, and endlessly customisable. I think you’re going to love it!
