Healthy Breakfast Idea: Savory Oats

I’m so NOT a morning person, but could become one if it meant waking up to this delicious bowl of savory oats every morning!

Fun fact: I can count how many times I’ve had oatmeal on one hand.

Even more of a fun fact: This is the only way I actually enjoy oatmeal. 🙂

I’m not really a breakfast person. It’s something I’ve struggled with my whole life. All you hear is how it’s the most important meal of the day and it’s part of a balanced diet and something you need in order to maintain a healthy weight. Then I started running and realized I needed to eat breakfast. It was fuel and I could tell there was a huge difference in the way I felt if I skipped it.

Occasionally I’ll grab a bowl of cereal and a piece of fruit, or something else sweet like a piece of this cinnamon pancake cake, but for the most part I’m a savory gal when it comes to breakfast or any meal for that matter. That’s why I fell hard for these fresh herb and cheesy savory oats! They’re creamy, filling, and the perfect pairing to a runny fried egg on top. Here’s how to make it…It could not be more simple to do!
