Ingredients

  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 6 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cups baby spinach
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp tamari or low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. 1

    Bring 2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Stir in 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats and reduce heat to medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, until oats are creamy and broth is absorbed, about 5 minutes. Season with half the 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper. Stir in 2 tbsp nutritional yeast.

  3. 3

    Meanwhile, heat 2 tsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add 6 oz sliced cremini mushrooms in a single layer and cook undisturbed for 3 minutes until browned. Stir and cook 2 more minutes.

  4. 4

    Add 2 minced garlic cloves and cook 30 seconds until fragrant. Add 2 cups baby spinach and toss until just wilted, about 1 minute. Drizzle with 2 tsp tamari or low-sodium soy sauce and season with remaining salt and black pepper.

  5. 5

    Divide oats between bowls, top with the mushroom and spinach mixture, and garnish with 2 thinly sliced green onions.

Questions

Can I make Vegan Savory Oatmeal Bowl gluten-free?

Yes. The gluten in this entry is 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats. Swap the oats for certified gluten-free oats. Everything else proceeds as written.

How long does Vegan Savory Oatmeal Bowl keep?

Refrigerate leftovers within two hours and eat them within three days. Reheat gently on the stovetop.

Can I halve or double Vegan Savory Oatmeal Bowl?

Yes. As written it serves 2. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. When doubling on the stovetop, use your widest pan or work in two batches so the food sears instead of steaming.
