Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup kale, chopped
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by washing and chopping kale, slicing mushrooms, and cutting avocado into thin slices.
- In a medium saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and sauté until they release their moisture and become golden brown, approximately 5-6 minutes.
- Add chopped kale to the mushrooms and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the kale is slightly wilted but still bright green. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Remove vegetables from pan and set aside.
- In the same saucepan, pour vegetable broth and bring to a gentle boil. Add rolled oats and reduce heat to low, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Cook oats for 10-12 minutes, or until they reach a creamy consistency and have absorbed most of the liquid. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Once oats are cooked, remove from heat and divide into two serving bowls. Top each bowl with sautéed mushrooms and kale.
- Garnish each serving with sliced avocado, drizzle remaining olive oil, and add final seasoning of salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve immediately while warm, enjoying the rich, savory flavors of the vegan oatmeal.
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time, wash and chop your vegetables the night before. This way, you can simply sauté and cook the oats in the morning for a quick breakfast.
- Choose Your Broth Wisely: The flavor of your vegetable broth can make a big difference. Opt for a low-sodium broth to control the saltiness of the dish, and consider using homemade broth for a richer taste.
- Sautéing Techniques: When cooking the mushrooms, ensure they are spread out in the pan and not overcrowded. This helps them brown nicely and develop a deeper flavor.
- Customize Your Toppings: Feel free to add other toppings like cherry tomatoes, nutritional yeast, or a sprinkle of chili flakes for an extra kick.
- Texture Matters: For creamier oats, stir in a splash of plant-based milk at the end of cooking. This will enhance the richness of your savory oatmeal.
- Serving Suggestions: This dish is versatile! Serve it as a hearty breakfast, a light lunch, or even a comforting dinner. It’s delicious any time of the day!
- Storage Tips: If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat with a splash of broth or water to restore creaminess.
