Mediterranean Oatmeal Breakfast Recipe

CrossFit Winter Park • February 12, 2025

We have a breakfast recipe for you today that will make your taste buds do a dance.

Normally when we think of oatmeal, we think of something sweet. But I've got a new savory (not sweet!) oatmeal recipe that's packed with umami flavors.

Which also make it a great choice for an easy dinner!

Once you master the recipe, feel free to mix up the ingredients - try different veggies, add a splash of tamari sauce or nutritional yeast in place of the cheese, and/or go to plant-based, just eliminate the egg and add more avocado. Yum!

TIP: If you have an active morning ahead of you, this recipe will keep you feeling full for hours.

Delicious Mediterranean Oatmeal Bowl (serves 1)

1 cup (240 ml) water

 

1/2 cup (40 grams) rolled oats

 

salt and pepper

2 tbsp crumbled goat cheese

1 tsp olive oil, divided

1/2 cup (or a handful) of grape tomatoes, halved

Handful or two of baby spinach leaves

1/4 avocado, cut into chunks

1-2 tbsp roasted pumpkin seeds (optional)

1 large egg

Bring water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add oatmeal, reduce the heat a little and let it cook for about 5 minutes, or until liquid is absorbed. Turn off the heat and place the cooked oats into a serving bowl. Stir in cheese and add a pinch each of salt and pepper.

Meanwhile, heat a nonstick pan 1/2 tsp of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the grape tomatoes and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until they start to soften. Stir in the spinach and cook another couple of minutes, until wilted.

Spoon the tomato-spinach mixture over the oats. Top with avocado chunks and optional pumpkin seeds.

Add the remaining 1/2 tsp of oil to the skillet and fry the egg. Cook until the whites are no longer translucent. Remove from the skillet and place on top of the oatmeal-veggie mixture.

Enjoy!

I’m sure you’ve heard me talk about the benefits of creatine for strength and fitness many times, and it turns out, there's even more benefits that go way beyond performance in the gym. This INTERVIEW with Dr. Rhonda Patrick and Dr. Darren Candow “Creatine's scientifically backed benefits have expanded significantly, showing promise for bones, the brain and cognitive function, cardiometabolic and vascular health, the immune system and inflammation, and even children, pregnant women, and vegans/vegetarians. It's clear that this supplement has a broad range of potential benefits beyond athletic performance.” Dr. Candow has extensively explored creatine's effects across various populations and health conditions, contributing over 140 published scientific papers which have been pivotal in demonstrating creatine's safety and efficacy beyond the athletic domain and expanding our understanding of the therapeutic and health-promoting applications across age groups.
