An oats omelette is the ideal healthy start for your day, bursting with protein. This is a savoury twist on the classic omelette with oats added to it, adding lovely texture and nutritional value. To make the oats omelette recipe, grind two tablespoons of rolled oats in a blender or food processor. The mixture should result in a faintly coarse flour-like consistency ideal for blending into eggs. Beat two eggs in a bowl, add ground oats, and mix to make it smooth. Add salt, pepper, and a pinch of turmeric or chilli powder for better flavour. Chop finely onion, tomatoes, spinach, and bell pepper as garnishing and adding nutrition to the patty. Prepare the non-stick pan over medium heat. Grease lightly with oil or butter, followed by the egg and oats mixture. Spread it uniformly in the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes until it pulls at the edges. Now flip the omelette gently over for another 2 minutes. Get both sides of the omelette golden brown. This oats omelette recipe is quick and easy but full of fibre and protein, thus a perfect meal to fuel your day. It is versatile-you can add your favourite veggies or even add cheese for extra richness. Perfectly enjoyed as a breakfast, snack, or light lunch!

Cooking steps for Oats Omelette
- 1Oats omelette is one of those healthy and tasty adaptations of the standard omelette recipe, which binds the goodness of oats along with numerous vegetables.
- 2To begin, gather all the ingredients: 2 eggs, ¼ cup of powdered oats or oatmeal, 3 to 4 tablespoons of milk or water (you can also use plant-based milk for a vegan-friendly option), ¼ teaspoon salt, a pinch of turmeric (optional for color and added health benefits), ¼ teaspoon oregano or your preferred seasoning, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper for flavour. You will need roughly 11/2 to 2 teaspoons of oil, butter, or ghee for preparation.
- 3The vegetables that are needed are 2 tablespoons of finely chopped onions, grated carrot, capsicum, and deseeded chopped tomatoes.
- 4Add 2 chopped green chilies and 1 tablespoon of fresh coriander leaves for that little zing and freshness.
- 5Start by chopping all the onions, capsicum, tomatoes, green chilies, and coriander leaves very fine.
- 6Grate one carrot and keep everything ready to mix. This means that there is a smooth process of cooking and not too much preparation time required.
- 7In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and beat until frothy.
- 8Add the powdered oats mixed well in the eggs followed by pouring milk or water to get the smooth consistency of the batter. The batter should neither be too thick nor too running; adjust as per liquid. Add salt, turmeric if using, oregano, and black pepper to this mixture and mix all well.
- 9Finally, add the vegetables prepared to the oats-egg mixture. The onions, grated carrot, capsicum, tomatoes, green chilies, and coriander leaves not only give good colours but also increase the nutrition content as well as the flavour of the omelet. Mix everything properly, so the vegetables get a full coat with the batter.
- 10Let it heat up in a non-stick pan or skillet over medium heat; add 11/2 to 2 teaspoons of oil, butter, or ghee.
- 11Once it is hot, pour the prepared mixture into the pan and let it spread evenly with a spatula as if making a pancake-like layer.
- 12Cover the pan with a lid and let it cook for 2-3 minutes on low to medium heat.
- 13After about 2-3 minutes, open the lid and if the bottom is golden brown, flip it over with your spatula and continue to cook the other side for another 2 minutes or until cooked through and a little crispy at the edges.
- 14Transfer the oats omelette to a serving plate once done.
- 15You can serve it with your favorite chutney, ketchup, or yogurt dip.
