12 Savory Oatmeal Recipes You Need To Try Immediately -- New ways you never knew you could eat this breakfast staple.

Howdy ho neighbor!

I've got some bo-diddily delicious recipes to share with you after a new protein pancake, flipped and flopped this weekend.

I still ate them. They were (kinda) delicious. Thank god for peanut butter and maple syrup.

And instead of sweet talkin' you through breakfast, today I'm giving it to you straight, no chaser, tell it like it is savory. Savory oats that is!
