Who says oatmeal has to be sweet? I LOVE making this savory oatmeal with cheese, which takes less than 10 minutes to make! Topped with fresh tomatoes, diced avocado, cilantro, and green onions, this easy breakfast is the perfect way for your family to start the day.
¼cupcheddar cheese, shreddeddairy free or traditional
Toppings:
sliced grape tomatoes
diced avocado
chopped cilantro
sliced green onions
extra cheese, if desired
black pepper, to taste
Instructions
*Please note this serves 4! For one serving measurements, see the notes below.* In a medium pot, bring filtered water, bouillon cubes, and salt to a low boil. Meanwhile, prepare toppings. Once water is actively boiling, stir in nutritional yeast to dissolve, followed by the rolled oats. Turn the heat down to medium low, and stir in cheese shreds. Heat for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until oats are thickened and cooked through, and the cheese is melted.
Remove oatmeal from heat. Divide between 4 bowls and top with desired toppings. Serve!
Notes
This recipe serves 4-5 comfortably. If making a single serving, decrease broth to 1 cup, rolled oats to ½ cup, salt to a pinch, and nutritional yeast/cheese shreds to 2 tablespoons each.
Don’t want cheese? Omit the shreds and up the nutritional yeast, if desired.
Feel free to switch out/add in more toppings! Other yummy additions include steamed broccoli, cauliflower, green beans, carrots, and bell peppers. For vegetarians, you can also add a fried egg on top.
