If you’re tired of your morning bowl of porridge or plate of scrambled eggs, why not mix the two and try making this scrambled oatmeal recipe. You get the best of both worlds: the taste of your sweet bowl of oat porridge with the texture of scrambled eggs. A hearty and satisfying breakfast ready in minutes.
I only recently discovered the concept of “scrambled oatmeal.” It’s a creative take on traditional oatmeal/porridge, mixing the consistency of scrambled eggs with the hearty texture of oats. It’s a dish where oats are cooked in a way that gives them a texture that resembles scrambled eggs.
Why I love making this oatmeal recipe:
I’m generally a sweet breakfast type of girl. I love my morning oatmeal, porridge and smoothie bowls. However, every now and then I wake up with a craving for something tasty, especially on the weekends. It makes the weekend more special when I start the day with something a little different.
I’ve also been craving a lot more savory things during my pregnancy, so at the moment, super sweet things aren’t appealing to me at all. That’s why when I discovered the concept of an oatmeal recipe, I knew I HAD to make it. try it.
What I also like is a simple recipe, the fewer ingredients and the less time spent on it, the better. This scrambled oats recipe checks both of those boxes. You only need 3 ingredients to make it and it’s ready in 5 minutes. Making it a great option for a healthy breakfast on busy mornings.
I have now made this oatmeal recipe several times and can confirm that it did not disappoint!
I love the hint of sweetness that comes from mixing the banana with the oats. Just enough sweetness to make it taste good without it being too sweet. It’s almost like an oatmeal pancake, but less sweet and much quicker and easier to prepare!
Why you should try this oatmeal recipe:
Texture set – If you’re tired of the usual doughy texture of oatmeal, scrambled oatmeal offers a delicious change. The toasted oats provide a slight chew, while the egg adds an incredibly satisfying fluffy lightness.
Nutritional powerhouse – Oats are a fantastic source of fiber, keeping you full and energized throughout the day. By adding eggs to the mix, you also get a dose of high-quality protein, making this breakfast option a complete meal that fuels your morning.
Versatility – One of the best things about scrambled oats is how adaptable they are. Do you prefer something sweet? Add the cinnamon, honey and fresh fruit. Want something tasty? Add some sautéed vegetables, cheese and a pinch of herbs. The possibilities are endless, making it easy to change day by day.
Quick and easy – Like traditional scrambled eggs, oatmeal can be prepared in just a few minutes. They’re perfect for busy mornings when you want something nutritious but don’t have time to spend cooking.
How to make this oatmeal recipe:
-
Mash the banana in a large bowl, crack the egg and add the oatmeal. Mix until combined.
-
Heat 1 teaspoon of neutral oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the mixture and cook until you see small bubbles at the top. Use a spatula to break up and turn the mixture into pieces. Just like you would when making scrambled eggs.
-
Once the scrambled oats are golden brown, transfer them to a serving platter.
-
Serving suggestions – serve with fat-free Greek yogurt, jam/chia jam and a drizzle of tahini. You can also add a splash of liquid sweetener if you prefer your scrambled oats sweeter.
Serving suggestions for this oatmeal recipe:
Fat-free Greek yogurt – I like to accompany my oatmeal with around 100 g of fat-free Greek yogurt. This will increase the protein content to around 20g of protein per serving, making this scrambled oats recipe a more complete and balanced breakfast. Greek yogurt will help balance your blood sugar, leaving you feeling fuller and fuller for longer.
Jam/Chia Jam – I usually have some sort of jam in my fridge – either homemade chia jam or store bought jam. They add a nice fruity taste and go really well with yogurt. You can also add fresh fruits and berries instead or something like fruit compote.
Tahini – I love drizzling with a tablespoon of tahini to add healthy fats and a nutty flavor. You can also add other nut butters, whatever you like!
Date syrup – A little drizzle of liquid sweetener like date syrup goes really well with the tahini/nut butter. Of course, this will depend on how soft you want your scrambled oats to be. Maple syrup or honey are also great options.

- Easy to make
