Sweet Potato Hash and Poached Egg Oatmeal

Why limit oatmeal to just sweet toppings when there are so many delicious savory ways to top your oatmeal. Jazz up your next bowl of oatmeal with this sweet potato hash and poached egg topping combo. Gluten free. Vegetarian. 

Have you ever tried savory oatmeal before? If not, skip the sweet stuff today and send your tastebuds on an adventure they won’t forget! With the colder months coming, there is nothing we like more than a warm and cozy bowl of oatmeal to start a chilly morning. And although we do love our sweet oatmeal bowls, we have grown to be big fans of the savory version of oatmeal, too.

Yes, typically you think of oatmeal toppings to be things like berries, nuts, nut butter, chocolate chips, jelly, etc. Those are the toppings that the kids will most likely reach for most frequently. But, as adults, sometimes you want something a bit more hearty. That’s where getting creative with savory toppings come into play.

We have already done a savory egg and sausage combo, so if you tried and enjoy that then you will be in love with this! We took our favorite (easy) breakfast hash recipe and put it atop our Steel Cut Oatmeal, added a poached, some bagel seasoning and, voila! The most nutritious and flavorful savory oatmeal bowl! It all comes together in just 15 minutes, too!

But, don’t let that topping combo stop you! You can use things like melted cheese, mushrooms, turkey sausage, kale, etc. to create your favorite savory bowl. Of course, if you like things hot as we do then don’t forget to add your hot sauce, too!

Zucchini Banana Bread Oatmeal

Lightly sweetened steel-cut oatmeal that is mixed with shredded zucchini, banana and topped with nut butter. It’s just as good as a freshly baked loaf of bread. Vegan. Gluten Free. 

Zucchini Banana Bread Oatmeal

For those of you who let breakfast slip your mind, this recipe is for you! The ease of this recipe, plus the sweet flavors that remind you of grandma’s freshly made zucchini banana bread are a guaranteed way to make breakfast unforgettable!

Like many recipes on the blog, this steel cut oatmeal recipe is customizable! We start with a base of our organic oatmeal and then add in fresh grated summer zucchini and banana. Then we added in brown sugar since it gives this recipe the most traditional zucchini banana bread flavor. However, coconut sugar or maple syrup work, too! If you are reducing your sugar intake, make this with an extra ripe banana, and you won’t even need to add any sweetener.

We finished this sweet breakfast oatmeal off with a dollop of peanut butter and crushed peanuts for crunch. However, any nut or seed butter would work as a replacement. We have even finished it off with coconut butter (kind of like an icing) and boy, oh boy, is it delicious!

You can add other fun mix-ins like mini chocolate chips, walnuts, or even blueberries! If you are into meal prepping, then this oatmeal recipe is perfect! You can batch prepare this! Add all of your ingredients to a pot on the stovetop and then follow the same process. (You might need to add a splash of water). Then, evenly divide the oatmeal among your mason jars, allow to cool and then seal up! You will have a delicious grab-n-go breakfast ready at your fingertips each morning! Pretty sweet, huh?!
