Warm, hearty, and loaded with nutrients, this Savory Oat Bowl is the perfect way to start your day with blood sugar balance and staying power. It’s the opposite of sugary breakfasts that spike and crash your energy. Instead, it delivers slow-digesting carbs, protein, and fiber — all in one deeply satisfying bowl.

Oats provide a base of gut-friendly, beta-glucan-rich fiber. A fried egg and parmesan bring rich flavor and protein, while sautéed vegetables add antioxidants and micronutrients. The runny yolk turns into a built-in sauce, and a sprinkle of herbs takes it over the top.

This isn’t just breakfast — it’s fuel for your brain and body.

• ½ cup rolled oats (steel cut or quick oats also work)

Quick FAQ

Skip the cheese or swap for nutritional yeast to keep the umami flavor without dairy.

What’s the best oat type?
Rolled oats strike the perfect balance of quick and hearty, but steel cut adds more chew if you have time.
