Ingredients
  

For the Oatmeal Base
  • 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats gluten-free if needed
  • 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth or water for a lighter option
  • 1 teaspoon salt adjust to taste
For the Toppings
  • 1 cup chopped spinach or kale, fresh or frozen
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 cup cooked chickpeas drained and rinsed
  • 4 large eggs poached or fried
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil for drizzling
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped for garnish

Method
 

Prepare the Oatmeal
  1. In a medium saucepan, bring the vegetable broth to a boil. Add the rolled oats and salt, stirring to combine.
  2. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the oats are tender and the mixture has thickened to your desired consistency.
Cook the Toppings
  1. While the oats are cooking, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped spinach and cherry tomatoes, sautéing for about 5 minutes until the spinach is wilted and tomatoes are slightly blistered.
  2. In a separate pan, cook the eggs to your liking (poached or fried) until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny.
Assemble the Bowl
  1. Once the oatmeal is ready, divide it among four bowls.
  2. Top each bowl with sautéed spinach and tomatoes, cooked chickpeas, and a cooked egg.
  3. Sprinkle with feta cheese, drizzle with olive oil, and season with black pepper and fresh parsley.
  4. Serve immediately and enjoy your savory oatmeal bowl!

Notes

Feel free to customize your oatmeal bowl with different vegetables, proteins, or spices. Avocado, sautéed mushrooms, or even a splash of hot sauce can add additional flavor. This recipe is also great for meal prep; simply store the components separately and assemble when ready to eat.
