Hello friends, today I have come up with a widely popular breakfast recipe Vegetable Masala Oats. In this recipe, Oats is cooked with Onions, Carrots, Bell Peppers, Tomatoes and spices. It is a super easy and quick recipe and gets prepared within half an hour.

Oats is known for its incredible health benefits. Vegetable Masala Oats is a very healthy and delicious option for breakfast/snacks. It has the goodness of vegetables like Carrots, Bell Peppers, and Tomatoes. It tastes equally yummy and takes less effort to prepare like Instant Noodles. But it is thousand times better and healthier than any Instant Noodles.

In this recipe, I have fried the Onions first. Then I have added rest of the vegetables one by one at a time. For flavouring, I have used Cilantros with Cumin powder, Coriander powder and smoked Paprika powder.

I don’t prefer much spices in Oats because it kills the actual taste and flavour of Oats. In this preparation, I have avoided Ginger-Garlic and green Chillies to make the dish light and less spicy.

I had this dish for the first time when I was pregnant. Doctor advised me to have healthy food with plenty of water. One day, as I was craving for Instant Noodles and my Mom prepared this dish for me. I loved the preparation so much that it has taken place in our regular breakfast menu. You must try it once to believe me.

Oats is one of the most versatile grains and you can prepare both sweet and savoury dishes with this. You can also use Oats to bake Cookies, Cakes etc. Oats is widely popular for the preparation of Porridge. It has mushy texture and get cooked very quickly.
