India, Sept. 15 -- Oats are a beloved breakfast staple, but if you're lactose intolerant, have a milk allergy, or prefer to avoid dairy, you might think your options are limited. Luckily, oats are incredibly versatile and can be enjoyed in a variety of milk-free recipes. From hearty savoury dishes that break breakfast conventions to sweet treats and refreshing smoothies, these recipes prove that oats can shine without dairy. Absolutely! A hearty, savoury oats with spinach and egg recipe starts by boiling rolled oats in vegetable broth until they are thickened. Fresh spinach is then stirred in. "Separately, boil an egg to top the oats, seasoning with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil for a delicious and nutritious milk-free breakfast", says nutritionist Alisha Jeswani. For a sweet treat, consider oatmeal cookies. Combine rolled oats with mashed bananas, peanut butter (or almond butter), raisins, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Bake until golden brown for a wholesome snack. "Another delightful option is oats and banana pancakes, where oats, ripe bananas, water, baking powder, and cinnamon are blended into a smooth batter and cooked in a skillet until golden", says the expert.
