These perfectly baked Savory Kale Oatmeal Cups are nutritious and kid friendly. Its a make-ahead recipe and requires only 6 simple ingredients.
Oatmeal is a favorite breakfast for most of us and sneaking in the green into this whole grain makes it a hearty breakfast/brunch.
Why should we eat oatmeal? Because it’s whole grain?
Yes, that is one reason but there are many more benefits of including oatmeal into our morning meals. It helps curb appetite thereby helping us to make right choices of food throughout the day , decreases risk of colon cancer and helps maintain cholesterol levels and are super versatile and easy to cook.
Usually we eat sweet oatmeal and these days we see lots of dessert recipes with oatmeal but usually I prefer salty breakfast. (Okay, except pancakes. Those are my favorite irresistible breakfast other than that I like salty meals in the morning.
Like most of us, I also prefer eating my greens during the day or evening, and mornings are usually eggs and tea and some toast or just plain oatmeal. But this time while baking these oatmeal cups I really wanted to include this nutrient dense green leafy vegetable – KALE into my breakfast. I also thought that it would be a great idea to sneak in some greens into my family’s diet and to start with it, mornings are the best time.
A good nutritious breakfast keeps everyone happy all day!! 🙂
