Egg and Oat Combo Bowl
Description
This recipe features oats simmered in water with seasonings to create a creamy base, complemented by separately cooked egg whites and a whole egg prepared to preference in the same skillet. The eggs add protein and a different texture that contrasts with the softness of the oats. Almond butter can be swirled into the oats for richness, and hot sauce or red pepper flakes provide a spicy kick for those who want more flavor complexity.
The eggs’ cooking method allows them to remain distinct yet warm alongside the oats when combined in a shallow bowl. This dish offers a balance of mild sweetness from cinnamon and savory notes from the eggs and spices. It can be eaten with a spoon or fork, making it a versatile option for early meals.
Because ingredients are cooked separately before plating, each component retains its texture and flavor. The dish can be adjusted for spiciness or creaminess depending on added condiments.
Ingredients
- ½ cup old fashioned oats
- 1 cup water
- 1 dash salt sea salt
- 1 dash cinnamon optional
- ½ cup egg white
- 1 egg or more egg whites
- salt sea salt
- black pepper sea salt
- ½ Tablespoon almond butter optional
- crushed red pepper optional, or hot sauce
Instructions
- Heat water and oats in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add a little sea salt and cinnamon to the oats, if using. Cook the oats, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes or until the oats are creamy and the consistency you like. Remove from heat until the eggs are ready.
- While oats are cooking, spray a skillet with coconut-oil cooking spray. Add egg whites to the pan. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook until egg whites are solid. Once the egg whites are cooked through and scrambled, push them to one side of the pan so they’ll stay warm and add the whole egg to the pan to cook; cook whole egg to your liking.
- Once both the eggs and oats are finished cooking, grab a bowl (I like using a shallow, wide bowl) add oats to one side and top with almond butter (if using) and eggs to the other side with hot sauce or red pepper flakes. Eat with a spoon, fork or both!
