Wondering if anyone likes savory oats and has any great recipes to try.

Looking to shake up my breakfast routine.

Thanks!

    I love them, but don't really do a recipe. I mix in some chopped and sauteed veg (broccoli or asparagus or zucchini), maybe some sauteed mushrooms, a still runny sunny side up egg, and some feta cheese.

    I like to mix in shaved parmesan, romano, or other hard Italian cheese and a poached or fried egg, plus salt and pepper. Or just butter and/or olive oil, salt and pepper if I'm keeping it simple.

    I usually make mine by stirring in peanut butter/PB2 and salsa.

    Heh, I'm the same... I'm not that big a fan of oats, and can't really get my head around making them savoury. But I eat some other pretty odd stuff, so eh ;)

    Savory oats are the best!! I do them Asian style with soy sauce, sriracha, an egg on top, and scallions. For everyone who's squeamish: come on, they're just another grain.

    I do the exact same and just switch up the base occasionally i.e. sub quinoa or rice or amaranth. I just adore it.

    Also, any tasty leftovers in your fridge? Steak or chicken and cooked veggies, then you've got what you need to make savoury oats. I love leftover stews or curries on my oats too. My mom does cottage cheese and scrambled eggs in hers.

    Seconding the 'they're just another grain'. A simple start for you to dress up as you please.

    My go to for a while was oatmeal with an over easy egg, topped with scallions and sriracha.

    I make mine by sauteing peppers and onions, then toasting the oats. I then add in beef broth slowly, risotto style, making sure its absorbed before I add more. Its really a tasty side dish.

    Awesome! I never really thought to do them in an Asian style. But I love Eggs and Sriracha together.

    Peanut butter and salsa? If you are serious then I will try it. Although I might use almond butter instead.

    I've done it with almond butter and cashew butter and enjoyed it too. If you've ever had a spicy peanut sauce with noodles or a stir-fry, it's the same concept!

    I sell sheep yogurt and cheese at farmer's markets and one of my customers mentioned he likes to use the yogurt for savory curry oats. I tried his recipe and loved it. So I thought, why not try more? Granted, the curry does add a little bit of a natural sweetness.

    Always try something new, right?

    Dude! Totes makes sense. Now I see it (and can imagine how GREAT that would taste!). Thanks!

    Steel cut oats topped with parm and a poached egg (sometimes some crumbled bacon) is the go-to weekend breakfast at my house.
