It’s been hammered into our heads since we were wee little children: Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. So we figured, might as well make the best of it! It’s easy to make time for brekky when you can bite into a scrumptious breakfast sandwich or scoot out the door with a couple of breakfast cookies. And though smoothie bowls have become all the rage for those looking to incorporate fruits and grains into their diets, they just won’t warm you up the way a nice hot bowl of oatmeal will. These 14 sweet and savory oat bowls will keep you cozy, toasty and completely satisfied until lunchtime rolls around.

2. Savory Parmesan Oats With Poached Egg: When a hearty breakfast is in order, pass on the fried eggs and bacon. Instead, reach for a wholesome and healthy bowl of savory oatmeal, complete with shaved Parmesan and a creamy poached egg. YUM! (The Kitchen Paper)

9. Savory Turmeric Chickpea Oats: If you’re new to savory oats, this recipe is a fantastic place to start.
