I never cared for oatmeal very much – and when I started to lose weight and eat a healthier diet – it was like someone had flipped a switched.
I was intrigued by oatmeal – I actually WANTED to try it and like it – and sure enough – I did.
Everything from sweet to spicy to salty to crazy – I’ve tried it. What has become my favorite breakfast – I had serious doubts about the first time I made it. Spicy Oatmeal.
I suffer from a hot sauce addiction – I think Frank’s Red Hot belongs on every food under the sun. One morning – I decided oatmeal shouldn’t be excluded. I put my brain to work, and came up with a combination of Quick Cook Steel Cut Oats (from TJ’s – my very favorite), and added 1 poached egg, and 1 Morning Star Sausage Patty. I added just the right amount of hot sauce for me (about ¼ of the bottle!), and topped it with a sprinkle of dried chives! Absolute heaven in a bowl!
Now that I’ve gone spicy – it’s hard for me to go back to sweet, although that does make for a nice change.
Next time you are feeling adventurous – try it out – I promise it won’t disappoint!

I would have never thought to make oatmeal like that! Sounds awesome!
Ooh, I’m intrigued!
Oooh, savory oatmeal. I tried it once with cheese and roasted red peppers, didn’t like it but THAT looks good!

I SERIOUSLY need to start experimenting with savory oatmeal. looks divine

I am trying to talk my boyfriend into trying this. He loves spicy foods. I am going to make it for myself once I get some vegan sausage patties. I share your adoration of Franks hot sauce. So vinegary and good!
I love Frank’s! It DOES belong on everything! One of my favorite combos is a poached egg with hot sauce. Maybe I’ll have to try the oats, too
Awesome! What a totally radical breakfast idea, LOVE IT!
Allison – I am so making this tomorrow and will give you kudos – except you know of course I’ll be using my trusty Tabasco!!
