If you haven’t tried savory oatmeal, DO IT.

I just made a savory oatmeal recipe from the YouTube channel The Domestic Nerd, with mushrooms, spinach, garlic, red pepper flakes, and chicken stock instead of water, and it’s my new favorite recipe.
It’s sooo creamy and rich tasting, yet only 200 calories for the bowl (if you make it with a half cup of oatmeal instead of a full cup).
Look up savory oatmeal on YouTube, there are so many amazing recipes. 😍😍 I can’t believe how well it works.

    Thank you for the info! Will have to try these. I guess almost anything you would put rice, lentils, couscous, quinoa with would work, never thought of that.

    Ordinary I’d agree, but with the mushrooms and spinach to bulk it up, it almost completely filled my bowl! I was stuffed afterwards!

    I would probably like this. I like savory cottage cheese too rather than fruity.

    I haven't tried to make it myself but I ordered it twice at a fancy restaurant where they cooked it with cod, drizzled with basil oil and garnished with deep fried cod skin. Don't know how they got the texture to be similar to risotto.

    How large is your bowl?
    Secondary question, have you looked at the serving size on something like say, the back of a package of Bob's Red Mill's rolled oats lately?

    A serving size if how much of whatever you eat. Not what the manufacturer wants you to eat. They only tell you the serving size so that you know 100g serving is X calories. Simple.

    I haven't tried savory oatmeal but I might have to give it a try next week. I am, for whatever reason, a bit resistant to the idea, but there's no reason for me to not like it.

    This is me too. I kind of like the idea, but can’t quite wrap my mind around vegetables in oatmeal.

    They also use serving sizes to give the consumer an idea of how many meals/snacks they're going to get out of a given package, within a fair amount of reason. I can think of other uses as well.

    Back to this bowl situation, how large are your bowls though? Really. I mean they seem rather large based on your reactions. Oatmeal made using half a cup of uncooked oatmeal plus various vegetables would definitely fill my prefered bowl, and it's not especially small.

    Is this a case of you having assumed that the OP was talking about half a cup of cooked oatmeal?

    Exactly this. I thought OP took half cup cooked oatmeal, mixed in some vegg and called it a day.
    And regarding the size of my bowls, well.... being a volume eater, you dont want to know.

    Half a cup of cooked oatmeal would work for say, a 5 year old with along with some sides. Hoping that they in fact eat all (or most) of their oatmeal...
