You probably think of oatmeal as a hot breakfast cereal topped with cinnamon, raisins, apples, or other fruit. Our twist on oats makes it a savory meal that can be eaten at other times of the day too. Try it — if you’re like us, it just might become your new favorite way to eat oatmeal!

kitchen gear

  • Cutting board
  • Sharp knife (adult needed)
  • Large heavy-bottomed pot
  • Measuring cups
  • Box grater (optional)
  • Measuring spoons
  • Wooden spoon or heatproof spatula
  • Pot holder

Ingredients

  • 2 1⁄2 cups water
  • 2⁄3 cup 3-minute steel cut oats (available at grocery stores)
  • 1⁄2 cup packed spinach or arugula leaves, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  • Put the pot on the stove, add the water, and turn the heat up to high. Bring the water to a boil. (You’ll know the water is boiling when you see bubbles breaking all over its surface.)
  • Add the oats and cook until tender, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Add the spinach and cheese, mix well, and serve right away.

Notes

OR ELSE

No 3-minute steel-cut oats? No problem. Use 1 cup rolled oats and 2 cups water, and follow the instructions above, cooking the oats until tender, about 5 minutes. Or use regular steel-cut oats, and follow the package directions.
