People typically envision fluffy stacks of pancakes drenched in streaming amber syrup or an amazingly indulgent egg benedict when they get enthusiastic about breakfast. Nobody actually considers oatmeal. It’s a fantastic canvas, though, and there are countless ways to dress it up and intensify the flavors. It’s an underappreciated star. Here are some of the most inventive recipes we could discover.

Matcha has lately become popular, but these delectable green tea overnight oats show that it’s more than just a fad. Thank happy the author chose to experiment with matcha rather than chocolate on time!

6. Samoa Oatmeal

When you were a child and attempted to sample that uncooked, alluring cake batter, your mother swatted your hand away.

Strangely, the flavor is enhanced by the vanilla protein powder.
10. Fried egg and savory oatmeal with cheddar
Okay, since oatmeal and eggs are a savory combination made in heaven, we had to include one more fantastic invention. This time, the oatmeal is topped with white cheddar, red peppers, and onions in place of the poached egg. Honestly, it’s superior to any omelette we’ve ever heard of.
