The Savory Oatmeal Revolution

When most people think of oatmeal, they picture cinnamon, maple syrup, and maybe a sprinkle of raisins. But oats are like a blank canvas—perfect for painting bold, savory flavors. These Savory Oatmeal Cups are portable, customizable, and packed with protein and veggies. They’re the ultimate grab-and-go breakfast or snack for the modern multitasker.

-The Recipe:

-Ingredients (Makes 6 Cups)

1 cup old-fashioned oats

2 large eggs

1/2 cup milk of choice (dairy or plant-based)

1/4 cup cooked and crumbled bacon, sausage, or chickpeas (optional)

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Optional toppings: Fresh herbs, hot sauce, or avocado slices

Instructions

Prep the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 6-cup muffin tin or line with silicone baking cups.

In a mixing bowl, combine the oats, eggs, milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until well blended.

Fill the Cups:

Bake to Perfection:

Cool & Enjoy:
Let the cups cool for a few minutes before removing them from the tin. Serve warm or store in the fridge for up to five days.

Emma’s Tips for the Ultimate Oatmeal Cups

Go Global: Add a pinch of curry powder and peas for an Indian-inspired twist, or try soy sauce and scallions for an umami-packed option.
Diet-Friendly Swaps: Use dairy-free cheese and plant-based milk for a vegan version. Replace eggs with a flaxseed mixture for a plant-based binder.
Meal Prep Goals: Double the recipe and freeze extras for up to a month. Reheat in the microwave or oven when needed.
Texture Hack: Prefer a smoother texture? Pulse the oats in a blender before mixing them in.
