Sweet oatmeal is so last season.
I mean not really. But let’s pretend. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again (because I’m weird). I don’t like sweet things for breakfast unless they come in the form of pancakes or waffles. But ordering a heaping cup of white flour doused in wannabe “maple syrup” (AKA artificially flavored high-fructose corn syrup) isn’t my jam, so I’m the gal that always orders the harvest vegetable omelets with local goat cheese and poached eggs with sweet potato hash. #Weeeeeirdo.
So it makes complete sense that I don’t like sweet oatmeal in the morning, either. It’s not because I don’t want to eat a lot of sugar in the morning. While that may be true, it’s more the fact that I just could never down a whole bowl of sweet oats. Nuh uh. Not now not ever.
Eating a big bowl of oats topped with creamy avocado, salsa and drippy egg yolk may look a bit absurd at first glance, but trust me. It’s love at first bite. Now that I made it a thing, I always want it for breakfast. And then all I want for dinner is a giant baked sweet potato with salsa, avocado and fried egg. Which is kind of like the same thing. Shhhhhhh. Oh the redundancy!!
Chia oats. Ripe avocado. Hot salsa. Fried egg. Salt and pep. DONE.
I love adding a tablespoon of chia seeds for a nice fiber boost early in the am. I try to eat a tablespoon every day, which usually makes its way into either a smoothie or a bowl of oats. Those little superfood buggers soak up water like a sponge, so if you’re leaving out the chia completely, I would stick with 1/2 cup oats and 1 cup water.
You might as well consider yourself a savory oatmeal convert. I mean it’s just bound to happen. Ohhhhhhh the yolk porn….I die.

Yum! Sounds delicious. I like sweet oats, especially in the winter, but these savory ones seem like the perfect substitute. I always forget how great it is to start the day with a bit of salsa and avocado. 🙂
I feel like my day always turns out better when I start it off with a bit of avocado…or almond butter 🙂
Er savory oatmeal is where it’s at..and when avocado, salsa and runny yolk are all involved, it only gets better. I won’t lie though- nothing beats a bowl of oats topped with banana slices & PB…mm!
I haven’t had peanut butter in quite some time–that needs to change STAT. Almond butter is monopolizing my pantry! Eeeek!

do you eat eggs, avocado and salsa for every meal and just change the vehicle…either way- I’m a fan of this- it sounds so good! I’m abit 50/50 with breakfasts…hence I usually have sweet AND savoury. Although whenever I’m out, its strictly savoury!
GUILTY.

I just recently got into savory oats and I’m totally loving it! I can’t wait to try this recipe out!
I think you may just totally fall head over heals in love with them, my friend.

I have yet to try savory oats. I definitely prefer slightly sweet oats with fresh fruit and nuts, but need to try a savory version.
You can’t go wrong with fresh fruit and nuts!

Savoury oats are absolutely amazing. Its been a long while since I’ve had them because I’m definite;y a sweet breakfast kind of girl, but they’d make a great lunch or dinner. Oh, and the combination of egg, avocado, and salsa? One of the best there is!
I’m glad you’ve experimented with savory oats too! I was feeling like a weirdo over here for a while…

I have never tried savory oats, and to be honest they make me a little nervous. But topped with avocado, an egg, and salsa?…pretty sure they couldn’t be bad with that!
Right?? I swear you’d love them.
