Ingredient Notes

The main ingredients are rolled oats, vegetable broth, eggs, and spinach. Use gluten-free oats for a gluten-free option. For added flavor, consider low-sodium broth. Fresh or frozen spinach works well; if using frozen, thaw and drain excess water. The eggs can be substituted with tofu for a vegan option.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Cook oats for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until creamy.
  2. Stir in 1/2 cup of spinach and cook for another 2 minutes until wilted.
  3. In a separate pan, fry or poach eggs to your liking.
  4. Serve the oatmeal topped with the cooked eggs, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

Things I’ve Learned

If the oats get too thick, add a splash more broth or water to loosen them up. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. When reheating, add a little extra broth or water to maintain creaminess. This recipe is perfect for meal prep; make a larger batch and reheat portions throughout the week.
