A quick and filling breakfast definitely gives you the energy to take you through the whole day easily. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and we definitely must have a hearty one. This quick and easy Oats Palak paratha is super soft and very good option for kids who fuss about leafy vegetables. Its basic Palak Paratha with addition of oats to make it more filling. We all know the benefits of Oats and how nutritious they are. I add little bit of curd which makes these paratha's super soft. Also you can chop the spinach and add like for normal methi paratha's, but I blanch them and make a paste and add so there is no fuss eating. If you like you can simply add chopped spinach instead. Let's see how it's done.
I have added step by step image below for easy reference. This quantity yields about 12-15 paratha's. The dough will stay good in fridge for about 1 day.

- Knead it to make a medium soft dough.
- Let the dough rest for atleast 15 to 30 mins

Notes:
- For Blanching the spinach, in some drinking water add in the washed spinach for about 5 to 7 mins until its par cooked.
- When you add everything to the oats, mix well before adding water for making the dough. This is because, you might have some water content already from the soaked oats and from the spinach puree. If you add water first it might end up too watery or sticky.
- Add water little by little as needed and make into smooth dough
- Its necessary to rest the dough for atleast 15 mins
- Use quick cooking or instant oats for this.
- If you don't eat garlic, you can avoid that.
