Steel Cut Oatmeal
Easy, yummy and healthy, cost conscious steel cut oatmeal recipe, that is a great way to start your day!
Equipment
- 1 Sauce Pot
Ingredients
- 1/2 C steel Cut Oats
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 C water
- 1 C milk (whatever you have)
- 1.5 tbsp brown sugar
- +++ spices of your choice. cinnamon / nutmeg / pumpkin / vanilla sugar
- +++ fruit of your choice blueberries / banana / apple
Instructions
- Bring the milk and the water to a healthy simmer. Be careful - you don't want to boil your milk...
- Once the liquid is simmering, add your steel cut oats and a sprinkle of salt. Continue to simmer / nearly low rolling boil for about 30 minutes. Stir occasionally and check on progress by sampling the oats.
- I typically want the consistency to be porridge like - creamy. I've learned NOT to cook it till no liquid is left - it's like polenta - it firms up after cooking - so I like to leave it a bit creamy.... Since it's steel cut there is still a bit of chew to the oats - which I like...
- After the oats are to your preferred consistency, serve and consider topping with the brown sugar, maybe some berries, maybe some vanilla sugar or homemade pumpkin pie spice? There are a lot of options and ways to mix up your healthy breakfast !
Notes
I like to make more than I'm planning on eating on the first day - so I have some ready for the next day or two. If you put the oats into the fridge in a bowl - you can add a Tbl of milk to the bowl and microwave for a quick minute or two (medium power) and you ought to be ready to go the next day without having to clean a pan !
Zim zam zoom!
Additionally - last I checked this was about 80 cents per bowl. It's good for your gut, super healthy and it's cheap.
Why don't more people eat oatmeal like this???
