What costs less than $1 dollar to whip up and takes less than 5 minutes of your attention? A warm bowl of quick, savory garlic oat bran - that's what.
Although I can totally go for a warm bowl of oats topped with fruit paired and maple, savory is definitely my favorite way of having it.
If you're not familiar with oat bran, it's is the outer layer of the oat groat, according to Healthline.
Additionally, It also has more protein and fiber than oatmeal. Oat bran's texture reminds me of farina, or cream of wheat - except it’s a bit more textured and much more filling.
Garlic Oat Bran Recipe Notes:
- Oat bran is a bit different from your regular old-fashioned oats. They cook much faster and have a similar texture to farina/cream of wheat.
- Avoid burning the minced garlic by stirring frequently and only cook them for a few seconds.
- Feel free to add less or more garlic cloves. Honestly, I am obsessed with garlic, so the more, the better.
- You may use non-dairy milk instead of water for a thicker, creamier bowl of oats.
