5 Savory Oatmeal Recipes that will make you rethink Oats
I love oatmeal. I eat oatmeal nearly every morning … with butter, brown sugar and raisins. Sweet. But, just like we don’t all eat grits the same ways … we don’t all have to eat sweet oatmeal in the morning. Oats can be used in cooking just like rice … it’s very versatile and doesn’t have to be just for breakfast.
You might even think about serving up one of these 5 savory oatmeal recipes as a side or main dish for dinner.

Sinfully Spicy adds Thai green chile peppers to this spicy oat dish. The addition of various vegetables, ginger, and cilantro will certainly satisfy even the hungriest among us. If you like it hot … give this one a try.

This actually reminds me of my spaetzle recipe. The Gruyere and rosemary give this oatmeal a creamy texture while the apples provide for a little crisp flavors of autumn.
