Miso Oatmeal with Kale and Avocado

Savoury oatmeal is one of my favourite things to eat for a healthy breakfast.  This recipe for miso oatmeal with kale and avocado is the perfect way to start your day!

We love savoury steel cut oats for breakfast (check out our recipes for Soft Boiled Egg and Asparagus on Oats and Savoury Steel Cut Oats with Chimichurri if you haven’t already), and this miso oatmeal is my new favourite go-to breakfast lately.

These oats are quick and easy when cooked in the instant pot, and full of warm, comforting umami flavour.

Miso for breakfast

If you love the flavour of miso soup, miso breakfast oats are the perfect way to add some savoury oat goodness to your mornings. Just set your oats to cook in your Instant Pot, and when they are done, stir in the seasonings and kale and you are ready to eat.

We love using fresh kale for our morning savoury oats, but the frozen kale in this recipe makes preparation more convenient for busy mornings, and who doesn’t want an easier way to eat a healthy breakfast?

Did you know that miso soup is served as part of a traditional Japanese breakfast??? Miso paste, being a fermented food, is full of probiotics and promotes a healthy gut environment and aids in digestion and that’s some great benefits to add to your first meal of the day.

Ingredients:

• steel cut oats
• unsweetened almond milk ( or nut milk of your choice)
• miso paste
• frozen chopped kale
• nutritional yeast
• tamari
• tahini
• avocado
• green onion

Equipment:

• Instant Pot (If you do not have one, you can use this stovetop method for cooking steel cut oats)

How to Make Miso Breakfast Oats

1. Place the oats, along with the water and almond milk in your instant pot and press the ‘porridge’ button. This should set the cooking timer to 8 minutes. When the oats have finished cooking, leave the Instant Pot to naturally release some pressure for about 6 minutes before manually relieving the pressure.
2. Set your instant pot to saute and add the miso and nutritional yeast. Stir and cook for 2-3 minutes to heat up the frozen kale.
3. Divide the oats between two bowls, and top with the chopped avocado and green onions
