When I first heard about savoury oats – I was very apprehensive. I forget how versatile oats are and that they don’t just work well with sweet flavours. I’m keeping this recipe very simple and including only the very basics. I will add some topping suggestions at the bottom. If you fancy a change from avo on toast then you must try this!

Ingredients:

• 65g jumbo oats
• 300ml oat milk (then add water if you want to make them runnier)*
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
• Optional: 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
• Salt and pepper to taste

*you can use any unsweetened milk you want, or water alone

Method:

1. Add oats, milk, garlic powder, salt and pepper to a saucepan and bring to a medium-high heat
2. Stir the pan continuously, adding water until you get the consistency you want
3. Stir in the parsley and nutritional yeast, pour into a bowl and enjoy!

Topping ideas:

• Poached egg
• Avocado
• Garlicy sautéed spinach
• Sautéed mushrooms
• Roasted vegetables
• Balsamic tomatoes
• Pine nuts & pesto
