Savory Oatmeal

(GF) Gluten-Free, (VG) Vegetarian

Not in the mood for a sweet breakfast? This savory oatmeal is the perfect alternative for all my savory-toothed friends out there! Not traditional by any means, but it's the perfect way to start your day with fiber, protein, and flavor! The best part is that it only takes 10 minutes to make - because I know time is valuable, especially in your morning routines.
