After looking for new ways to make my oatmeal, I kept stumbling on savory recipes. I thought I would give it a try and it opened my eyes to a whole new way to enjoy oatmeal!

Cook the desired type of oatmeal in water or broth.
Sautee some onion, green pepper, and mushrooms in a pan until they start to soften...but still have some crunch.
Stir 1T reduced sodium soy sauce and a bit of sriracha hot sauce if you like (but I added a bit to much and it was a little hot;)
Stir in your vegetables
Top with a fried or poached egg and cheese if your like.

This was 316cal...made 1/2c oatmeal in water, 1/4 of a green pepper, 2T onion, 1/4 cup diced portabello mushrooms. 1T soy and 1/2T hot sauce, 2T reduced fat chedder, and a lg egg fried sunny side up in a nonstick skillet. VERY filling!


Have you tried a savory oatmeal recipe...what do you add to it?

    Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal - love this in the winter! OK - It's probably more sweet than savory, but stilll....

    1 cup old fashioned oats, not quick cook
    1 Tbs whole flax seeds, optional
    2 1/2 Tbs brown sugar, packed
    1/2 tsp cinnamon
    1/4 tsp allspice
    1/8 tsp nutmeg
    1/2 tsp lemon zest
    1/4 tsp salt
    1/2 tsp vanilla
    2 tsp butter, softened
    3/4 cup pumpkin puree
    3/4 cup milk
    Topping:

    1/4 cup pecans, chopped
    2 tsp butter, softened
    1 Tbs brown sugar
    Preheat oven ...to 375 degrees F. Grease 4 individual sized ramekins. Set aside.

    Combine the oats through salt in a medium sized bowl. Stir well. In a separate bowl, combine the vanilla, butter, pumpkin, and milk. Whisk thoroughly. Pour the pumpkin mixture into the oats. Stir until combined.

    Divide mixture evenly between 4 individual sized ramekins. Place ramekins on a baking sheet (this makes it easier to move in and out of the oven.). Bake at 375 degrees F for 10 minutes.

    Meanwhile, combine the ingredients for the topping: chopped pecans, butter, and brown sugar. After the oatmeal has baked for 10 minutes, remove and divide topping mixture evenly between the ramekins. Bake and additional 7 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes before serving. Top with a splash of milk and raisins, if desired.

    I never thought of that! I think I'll try it!! I get so bored of breakfast because I'm more of a savory person but don't eat eggs, so I end up with grapefruit and yogurt.

    Thanks!!

    I have to admit... I wasn't quite convinced until I started Googling savory oatmeal recipes. This one (especially the photos!) had me drooling. LIterally.

    I cook my oatmeal in the microwave with water and add frozen blueberries and a dash of milk to it after it has cooked. Very delicious and low in calories!
