Good to see someone else discovering that oats can be part of all kinds of meals beyond straight-up ‘breakfast.’ Over here, I’ve upgraded from rice to SCO (steel-cut oats), with zero regrets.

And that is coming blocked. Bye

I do something like an “oatmeal risotto” sometimes. Savory oats cooked with mushrooms and chopped nuts, sometimes breakfast sausage crumbled in, finished with some parmesan and a splash of cream if I’m feeling decadent.

I’ve done this before. Carbs are usually pretty flavor-neutral, and can generally go either sweet or savory. It’s not any weirder than the poverty birthday dessert I got as a kid, and that was just spaghetti dusted with hot cocoa mix, haha.

Add some fresh salsa!

First thought: “IDK… Sounds weird.”

Second thought: “I’ll have to try it.”

My big oatmeal hack is adding gluten and wheat bran. 80% pure protein and fiber respectively.

So… Grits with oats instead?

This all just made me sad.

Savory oats rock! Don’t listen to the nay-sayers. ☺️ Especially with the steel cut variety.

Savory oatmeal is awesome. I like it with olives & Parmesan and a fried egg.

take a look at kedgeree too!

I do kimchi, stir fry some of it, drop hot water and then oatmeal with soy sauce. Salt, pepper, red chili powder
