Ingredients & Substitutions
I love using fresh spinach, but frozen works just as well—just make sure to thaw and squeeze out excess water. Nutritional yeast is a game changer for adding that cheesy vibe without any oat milk. And feel free to swap in your favorite greens!
Tips & Notes
- •For extra creaminess, use a splash of your favorite plant-based milk at the end.
- •If you like things a bit more savory, try adding some sautéed mushrooms or a sprinkle of your favorite plant-based cheese.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I'll add diced tomatoes or bell peppers for extra flavor and color.
- •You could also swap the spinach for kale or chard—both are delicious!
Storage & Freezing
This savory oatmeal keeps well in the fridge for about 3 days. Just store it in an airtight container, and when you're ready to enjoy, add a little vegetable broth or water to bring it back to life!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this ahead of time?
