Ingredients

Servings

For the Oats:

  • 3 cups water
  • 1 cup plant milk
  • 2 tbsp. vegan butter or 2 tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 cup steel-cut oats Bob's Red Mill brand
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp umami powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes

Toppings:

  • roasted red pepper as desired
  • kale seasoned with salt and oil (as desired)
  • tomato as desired, chopped
  • 1 avocado cut as desired
  • kalamata olives as desired
  • corn tortillas as desired
  • vegan feta crumbled (as desired)
  • Greek yoghurt as desired but suggested with grainy mustard. 1 cup yogurt to 1 tsp mustard. Mixed.

Instructions

  1. Heat a large saucepan on medium and bring the water and milk to a gentle boil.
  2. To a large pan, add the butter or oil and gently heat till bubbling or hot.  Add the oats to the pan and toast for 3 minutes or until golden and fragrant.
  3. To the milk + water, add the oats, stir till combined, and reduce heat to low.  Cook for 20 minutes with the lid on and stir occasionally to avoid burning.
  4. While your oats are cooking, prep your toppings.
  5. To the oats, add all the spices.  Stir till combined and cook for another 5 minutes.
  6. Portion the oats into individual bowls and top with desired toppings!

Notes

  • Refrigeration:  The oats will last in the fridge for up to one week.  Let the oats cool completely before transferring to an air-tight container.
  • Toppings: Have fun with the toppings, you really can't go wrong here.  Sundried tomatoes, spinach, cheese, jalapenos, dressed fresh greens, fresh herbs, or even nuts and seeds!
  • Oat additions: The spices in this recipe are just some of my favorites but you can play around with your favorites and add spices like basil, dill,  sauteed veggies, cheese (any kind!), nutritional yeast, green onions, etc.
