1. Savory oats are the new breakfast craze.

Who says oatmeal needs to be sweet? Cook your oats up with some vegetable broth instead of water, and then top them with a fried egg, some mashed avocado, and a sprinkle of cheese. 

You'll be getting a protein-packed breakfast that will stick to your ribs until lunch. Plus, all the heart-healthy benefits from oats are intact, without the added sugar. Now that's a great way to start your day off right!

2. Take overnight oats to a whole new probiotic level

We all know the fundamental idea of overnight oats is that it's a time-saver, but here's another spin on that one: mix in some yogurt before you put it in the fridge. 

You'll wake up to a creamy, tangy breakfast that's loaded with gut-friendly probiotics. Your digestive system will thank you for it, and your taste buds will be happy.

3. Blend them up for a power-packed smoothie

Forget protein powders cooked and cooled oats are a fantastic addition to your morning smoothie. They thicken up and add in some fiber and staying power to your drink. 

Add in some frozen berries, a banana and a splash of almond milk for a breakfast that'll keep you running all morning.

4. Baked oatmeal is game-changing

If you are already tired of the mushy oatmeal, then bake it. Mix your oats with milk, eggs, and your favorite fruits, then put it in the oven, and voilà: a warm, comforting breakfast almost like eating cake for breakfast, but way healthier. 

Make a big batch on Sunday and enjoy all week long.

5. Oat risotto is that comfort food you never knew you needed.

Who says risotto has to be made of rice? Rolled oats create a truly wonderful savory dish when slowly cooked with broth and finished off with roasted veggies and a dusting of cheese. 

It's very filling for any chilly evening meal, and it is simply full of nutrients.

6. Grind them up for nutrient-dense flour

Grind oats into flour in a food processor. Now, use that flour to make pancakes or muffins, or even the crust of a pizza.

You will be getting all the benefits of a whole grain but with the nuance of nuts that will raise your baked good game. And for those of you who are gluten-free, this is a great option.

There you have it, six unexpected ways to cook your oats that'll make your meals healthier and tastier. Say goodbye to boring breakfasts and hello to a whole new world full of oat possibilities. Your body, and taste buds, will thank you!
