That’s when I whip up this Savory Oatmeal with Sautéed Greens.

Ingredients & Substitutions
Feel free to switch up the greens! I love using vegan cheese chard or even arugula for a peppery kick. And if you're looking for a creamier texture, a splash of your favorite plant-based oat milk in the oats at the end is a lovely touch.
Tips & Notes
- •I love to top mine with a sprinkle of sesame seeds for extra crunch.
- •If you're feeling adventurous, try adding a dash of soy sauce or tamari for an umami boost.
Recipe Variations

- •Sometimes I toss in some roasted cherry tomatoes for a burst of sweetness.
