Which do you prefer; sweet or savory oatmeal?

Oatmeal is a breakfast staple in many households, and it’s the perfect base for a variety of toppings and flavor combinations. There’s also different types of oats; quick cooking, old fashioned and steel cut. The possibilities are endless.

It’s very common to see oatmeal sweetened with brown sugar and topped with fruit and maple syrup. However, savory toppings are equally as tasty and still a great option for breakfast. Check out these two recipes, one savory and one sweet, to see which you prefer.

Blueberry Coconut Oatmeal

A sweet combination of blueberries and coconut make for the perfect bowl of oatmeal to jumpstart your day. If you don’t have any blueberries in your fridge, enjoy this oatmeal with raspberries or diced strawberries for an equally delicious breakfast treat. Check out the recipe here.

Bacon, Egg and Cheese Oatmeal

The classic combination of bacon, eggs and cheese add the perfect savory flavor to your morning bowl of oatmeal. Serve with hot sauce on the side for a spicy kick. Check out the recipe here.
