Let’s bring out the bowls and go for a savory dish for breakfast!
Similar to my Buttery Oat Bran and Oat Bran with Tofu, Kale, and Walnuts, this recipe is packed with umami and flavor - this time with mushrooms.
If you’re new to oat bran, it is the outer layer of the oat groat, which sits just beneath the inedible hull. It’s naturally packed with plant-based fiber and protein.
Oat bran is one of my favorite ways to include fiber in my diet. Sometimes, when I am in the mood for something sweet, I’ll go for a hefty stack of Oat Bran Pancakes with Chocolate Syrup.
It’s definitely worth a try! It’s a lot creamier than old-fashioned oats and has a smoother texture, a bit similar to grits.
Although I eat savory oats for breakfast, they are also great for a quick, cozy dinner.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
- Mushroom oat bran takes minutes to make, so if you're in a time crunch, this is the perfect meal to whip up.
- Oat bran is very cheap to buy, especially in bulk. It’s also a fiber-rich meal, so it’ll keep you satiated.
- It’s super versatile - feel free to throw in additional toppings like sesame seeds, green onions, or garlic.
What To Eat With Mushroom Oat Bran
To add more to your breakfast plate, go for air fryer tempeh bacon or scrambled tofu.
If you want to serve mushroom oat bran for dinner, pair it with air fryer red potatoes or sweet plantains (maduros).
Recipe Tips
- Because oat bran cooks in just minutes (up to 3 minutes, usually), I recommend sticking around the kitchen while it cooks. Besides, you’ll need to be there to frequently stir the oat bran.
- Although I used baby Bella mushrooms in this recipe, feel free to use any kind of mushroom variety you enjoy. If you want to take this bowl up a notch, make a batch of mushroom bacon.
- I used Lee Kum Kee Mushroom Bouillon Powder to make my mushroom stock.

- This cooks up FAST. So, stick around the kitchen and watch it. It will take at most 3 minutes to cook.
- I love using mushroom stock in this recipe, but it can be substituted for vegetable broth.
