Oatmeal + Bone Broth? What more breakfast could you ask for. Well, especially if you’re into healthy and nutritious breakfast, these recipes can be your ultimate guide to a savory, delicious and delectable oatmeal to its otherwise bland taste. Right?

 

Here’s the basic 3-step formula to make oatmeal savory from Fearless Eating:

1. Soak one part oatmeal to two parts warm water overnight. Add 1 tsp whey, yogurt or lemon juice. This will make the oatmeal more digestible and it will also cook up very quickly.

2. Drain water and add chicken or beef bone broth and a chopped clove of garlic and simmer for about five minutes.  This will take a little longer if you’re using steel-cut oats.

3. Season to taste with salt or soy sauce and any type of hot sauce you like.  Other possibilities include worcestershire sauce, coconut aminos or fish sauce. You can also add all sorts of veggies, herbs, spices, and even nuts and different meats.  You can also add eggs,  hard-boiled egg, fried egg or poach an egg in the broth while simmering.
And for the recipes;
  1. Sriracha Oatmeal
  • Once oatmeal is done simmering, add a dollop of worcestershire sauce and top with a fried egg (or two) and sriracha.
  • Add some chopped chilies for some extra spiciness
  • Top with some cilantro or parsley
  1. Oatmeal with Peas and Peanuts
  • Add frozen peas when simmering oatmeal or fresh peas towards end.  Top with peanuts and a dollop of sesame oil (optional).  Season to taste with salt.
  • A drizzle of sesame oil and salt rounds this out into pea-nutty perfection.
  1. Oatmeal with Mushrooms, Parmesan and Chives
  • To simmering oatmeal add mushrooms.  When ready, mix in grated parmesan, season with salt and top with fresh chives.
  • Saute the mushrooms separately in some oil for a richer flavor. If sauteing mushrooms, throw in some diced red onion. Sub scallions in place of chives.  Or add both! Sub soy sauce for salt. Top with a fried egg.
  1. Bacon-Avocado-Egg Oatmeal
  • Saute the bacon and egg separately.  Add with the avocado when oatmeal is done. Season to taste with salt.  Experience an overwhelming desire to send me thank-you gifts.
  • Add in some chopped tomato. Throw in some chopped scallions with the bacon. Leave out the bacon entirely.
  1. Oatmeal with Cashews and Nori Strips
  • When oatmeal is done simmering, top with cashews, strips of nori and season to taste with soy sauce.
  • Top with a drizzle of sesame oil, some cilantro or scallions. Sub fish sauce for soy sauce
  1. Oatmeal with Kale and Soy Sauce
  • Add kale while oatmeal is simmering.  Season to taste with soy sauce.
  • Drizzle with sesame oil, riracha or hot sauce of choice. Add a hard-boiled egg or two for some additional protein.
  1. Oatmeal with Sausage, Onions and Peppers
  • Chop the sausage, onions and peppers and add at the beginning of simmering until cooked.  This will only take a few minutes.  Alternatively, saute them separately and mix in when oatmeal is done.  Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Top with a sunny side up egg. Season with hot sauce. Add rosemary, sage and/or thyme.
Enjoy your oats now folks!
