Savory Oatmeal with Roasted Cinnamon Squash

Tis the season for C-O-Z-Y! Some days you just need a warm bowl of oats with yummy toppings. But oats aren't just sweet, they can be savory too (like us 😋!) We created this Savory Oatmeal with roasted cinnamon, rosemary butternut squash that's vegan, gluten-free, nut-free, and refined sugar-free, sweetened with medjool dates! You can even throw an egg on top for a little extra savory protein action 🍳

We teamed up with The Soulfull Project to bring you this simple, seasonal #CupHack using Joolies Cinnamon Date Syrup and their brand new Hearty Grains & Seeds Multigrain Cereal Cup. The Soulfull Project is a Certified B Corporation that makes wholesome cereal accessible to all. Their instant oats on a mission are Vegan, Non-GMO and contain no artificial flavors. For every serving of The Soulfull Project’s hot cereal purchased they donate a serving of their 4 Grain cereal to a food bank in your region. 

Ingredients in these oats:

1. 1. Soulfull Project Hearty Grains & Seeds Multigrain Cereal Cup
      
      • This instant cereal cup contains so many good whole grains including oats, quinoa, chia and flax, with no sugar added. It's a versatile flavor for plain, sweet or savory!
   2. Joolies Cinnamon Date Syrup 
      • The only natural sweetener needed with a nice cinnamon twist. Plus, you still maintain all the nutrient and health benefits of a medjool date in the syrup form. How convenient!
   3. Butternut Squash
      • This winter squash has a sweet, nutty flavor making it the perfect candidate for a sweet or savory dish. It's rich in Vitamin A, Vitamin C, potassium, and magnesium. Feel free to change it up with some delicata, kabocha, or acorn squash.
   4. Olive Oil
      
      • A little drizzle of this to crisp and create that yummy brown caramelization. Feel free to swap with avocado or coconut oil (watch the smoke point on this one.) 
   5. Rosemary + Salt + Pepper
      • These are our star spices that bring a savory edge to our roasted squash to balance out the sweetness from the date syrup. 
   6. Pumpkin Seeds 
      
      • These add a nice crunch into the mix and great benefits like magnesium, iron, antioxidants and much more. You can read more about the benefits of pumpkin seeds here.
