Quaker recently conducted a survey across the US to find out how breakfast trends look across regions and found that people in both the Midwest and the South prefer savory options over sweet. I can 100% relate after living in both regions – I’m always looking to get creative with savory breakfast recipes!

In college, I ate oatmeal EVERY single day from freshmen to senior year. True story – all of my old roommates can all confirm this! While for most people coffee comes to mind first thing in the morning, it was a running joke in our apartment that I did not (and could not) function for the day without eating my bowl of oatmeal first.
Oatmeal is such a quick and easy meal that I found comfort in the daily routine. It also helped that you can find a canister of Quaker oats at most grocery stores and it fit perfectly into my college budget. It cooks quickly, stores in the pantry forever, and can be made into a nutritious meal. I found myself eating it not only for breakfast, but for lunch, dinner and even as a snack.
Four years of oatmeal for breakfast has given me a million opportunities to experiment with the ways to eat it (it’s just so versatile!). But for me, savory is ALWAYS the way to go.
