- 1/2 avocado (sliced)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup diced red onion

Equipment

Instructions
- Cook the sweet potatoes: In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add diced sweet potatoes and cook until tender, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Prepare the oats: In the same saucepan, combine rolled oats and almond milk. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until creamy and thickened.
- Sauté the vegetables: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced red onion and minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant and translucent, about 3 minutes.

- Combine oats and vegetable mixture: Gently fold the cooked oats into the vegetable and bean mixture. Add ground flaxseed for extra fiber and omega-3 fatty acids. Stir to combine evenly.
- Plate and garnish: Serve your hearty breakfast bowl warm. Top with sliced avocado and fresh herbs if desired for a creamy texture and fresh flavor contrast.
Tips & Variations
“For added protein and texture, sprinkle in some hemp seeds or chopped nuts—just watch portion sizes to keep carbs in check.”
You can swap out the black beans for chickpeas or lentils if preferred, keeping the dish nutritionally balanced. For a sweeter twist, add a small handful of fresh berries or a drizzle of pure maple syrup (use sparingly).
If you want to boost your antioxidant intake, sprinkle some ground turmeric or smoked paprika into the sauté step for a savory depth.
Experiment with different leafy greens like collard greens or spinach to keep variety in your meals. And if you have a busy morning, prepare the sweet potatoes and beans the night before to save time.
This recipe also freezes well—perfect for meal prepping!
