If you’re new to savory oats, trust us—they’re absolutely delicious. Oats and chickpeas are a winning fiber combo, while creamy tahini and baby spinach add a dose of greens. Enjoy for breakfast or a low-effort dinner—and rest assured that, at 13 grams of fiber per serving, you’ll be getting plenty of that nutrient.

Note: For softer and more porridge-like oats, add ¼ cup more liquid and cook until absorbed.
