Oat bran, like oatmeal, is mild in flavor. What’s different about oat bran is that it has a smoother texture, similar to farina or Cream of Wheat. Oats can be cooked savory or sweet, it’s up to you and your tastebuds. I love a savory breakfast to get my day started. When I want breakfast hearty, I throw in mushroom bacon and a quick tofu scramble.

Oat bran takes about 1-2 minutes to cook, yielding a large bowl of creamy oats that will keep you satisfied all morning.
