Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup lentils
  • 1 cup steel-cut oats
  • 2 shallots chopped
  • 8 oz baby Bella mushrooms chopped
  • 1 Tbsp butter
  • ¾ tsp red pepper flakes
  • 4 cups beef or chicken bone broth
  • 1 –2 Tbsp miso paste
  • ½ cup nutritional yeast
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • Optional: 1 scoop unflavored protein powder

Toppings

  • 2-3 sprinkles Everything but the Bagel Seasoning
  • 2-3 chives, chopped
  • 1/2 tbsp chili garlic crunch

Instructions
 

  • Dice shallots and sauté in butter over medium heat until translucent. Add red pepper flakes and cook 2–3 minutes.
    Chop mushrooms - we want them to be the same size as the oats and lentils. To make this process go faster you can use the blender hack: turn your blender on and then drop the mushrooms in while the blade is already running
  • Add mushrooms and sauté until browned (about 5–7 minutes).
  • Add broth, oats, and lentils. Bring to a boil, then reduce to simmer for ~15-20 minutes until lentils and oats are cooked.
  • Stir in miso and nutritional yeast. Adjust salt + pepper to taste.
  • Sprinkle each bowl with everything but the bagel seasoning and top with chives and chili garlic crunch
