In a breakfast rut?
A great way to play around with vegetables and flavor profiles is opting for savory oats and other grain porridge.
One morning I found myself looking longingly at a leftover bowl of homemade white bean gravy and seriously contemplated mashed potatoes for breakfast. Instead, I opted for a very veggie oatmeal…smothered in that gravy.
Savory Vegetable Oats with White Bean Gravy (for a pressure cooker/ Instant Pot / Multicooker)
Ingredients (Serves 5)
- 1 teaspoon vegan butter (optional)
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 carrots, diced or sliced in the round
- 2 cups chopped broccoli florets
- 3/4 cup rolled oats (not instant)
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1 teaspoon Herbs de Provence (or any dried spice you love)
- Salt and black pepper, as little or as much as you like
Instructions
Saute onion, garlic, and carrot in vegan butter in an uncovered pressure cooker (medium-high on the stove; use the simmer, saute, or brown function on an electric device).
Add remaining ingredients (I used a couple pinches of sea salt and about 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper). Combine well.
Cover the pressure cooker / multicooker. Cook on high pressure for 5 minutes. Use a natural release (manual release after 10 minutes).
Serve as is or with a hearty portion of white bean gravy.

Help. What happened to Vegan News a You Can Use? That was my Monday morning reading ritual. MIA two weeks in a row. I know the pressure cooker is your thing but it’s not mine ?.
Well, Pat, I actually needed a few Sundays off from working. Sorry you’re disappointed. I should be back at it next week. (You can make oats in pan on the stove.)
This looks good!
My husband wasn’t wild for the concept (didn’t even try it!) so it meant more for me! 🙂
