Oats has pretty much been a new entrant into my life. Never ate it during my growing up years as eating oats for breakfast wasn’t a thing back then. We greatly relied on our dosas & idlis to provide us with our daily carbs and that was about it. Perhaps since the time we came to Dubai we got a little more health conscious and I would occasionally make porridge for the hubby who loved it. I’d like to make it clear that switching to oats doesn’t necessarily mean that you are eating healthy or you will lose those extra kilos magically. These are marketing gimmicks that we must be aware of. What will make us healthier is conscious eating, portion control, lots of exercise and knowing that the best way to keep your weight in check is to remember the calories-in Vs calories-out thumb rule. Only eat as much as you can burn in a day. Now, wait! Do I follow all this? Sigh! I try to and I wish I could follow every rule in the book but like everyone else, I falter when it comes to taking care of myself! Anyway, let’s leave that conversation for another day.

So ever since I tried savoury versions of oats I have been hooked on to them. Sharing at least one recipe right away is a must then, no? So first up is this super yum garlicky-mushroom-spinach oat recipe that is very easy to put together. I made it with regular Quaker quick cooking (not instant) oats. The spinach & mushrooms add a nice taste to it but you really can skip them or use either one of them. If you like eating eggs for breakfast you can even fry one and use it as a topping. What’s your favourite way to eat oats?

    So flavorful! Mushroom-spinach combination is one of my favorites for my omelette and I am sure it tasted amazing in this oats as well… I can’t believe I haven’t made masala type oats at home… it’s always porridge, wondering what’s stopping me… hehe… Really pretty pics…

    It bothers me that this recipe is labeled “low carb”.
    Oats are a high-carbohydrate food and as such, this recipe is not and will never be low in carbohydrates.
    You are misleading people who do not know better.

      Hi,

      I referred to a couple of articles before labelling the recipe as low carb.

      https://www.livestrong.com/article/540975-can-you-eat-oatmeal-on-a-low-carb-diet-still-lose-weight/

      Also, while I was on a Low Carb & later a Keto diet, I read a lot of articles that allowed oats to be part of a low-carb diet if not a Ketogenic diet

        It remains that it’s misleading.
        While you CAN do carb-cycling while doing keto…this recipe is still NOT keto or low-carb.
        And just because you read about something does not make you knowledgeable about the subject…

          Point noted and thanks for shedding light on this although I wish your tone could have been a bit more polite! And I bet you’ve made plenty of mistakes too. We all learn from each other, I never claim to be an expert on matters relating to health in my posts. The error is regretted. I have edited the recipe and removed the ‘low carb’ bit.
