This savory recipe is a great way to mix up your oatmeal and leaves you full and satisfied for
hours. While we used steel-cut oats in this recipe to provide a chewier texture, they can be
swapped out for another whole-grain oat of choice. The miso paste (fermented soy paste)
makes the oats creamy and delicious. While miso is fairly high in sodium content, it is full of
probiotics, which improve your gut health and digestion and are linked to a reduced risk for
breast cancer. Not all people savor the taste of miso, so if it is not to your liking, feel free to
omit.
This is a full smile food, with total fiber-sugar-protein equaling 6-3*-19 (change to 6-0-19 if
tracking only added sugar)
Directions:
- Bring pot of water to a boil. Once boiling, place egg in and boil for 6-7 minutes, or a bit
longer if you like the yolk harder. Run under cold water once done to prevent continued
cooking. - While egg is cooking, combine steel-cut oats, ¾ cup of water, and miso paste in small
pot and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally until miso is fully dissolved. Cook for about 7
minutes (or according to directions on oats package) until oats are fully cooked. - Right before oats are done, mix in parmesan and spinach until cheese is melting in and
spinach is wilted. - Serve in a bowl and top with soft-boiled egg and pickled onions.
Tip: You can easily make your own pickled onions if you don’t have any on hand. All you need is
the onion, white vinegar (or apple cider vinegar), salt, maple syrup or honey, and water. Follow
