Good morning! I hope you're keeping warm where you are. Quick and easy and full of nutrition, steel cut oats are the perfect breakfast for a cold, cold morning - like it is here...and probably is where you are too! Here's my favorite simple recipe for creamy steel cut oats. You can use water instead of milk and frozen berries instead of fresh, as well as honey instead of brown sugar. It'll make 4 servings - or two if you're really hungry.
- 1/2 cup steel cut oats
- 2 cups milk
- 2 Tbs chia seeds
- 2 Tbs brown sugar
- 4 Tbs peanut butter
- 1/2 pint fresh blueberries, strawberries, or blackberries
Bring milk to simmer over medium heat. Add steel cut oats and stir. Allow to simmer until most of the milk has been absorbed and the oats are beginning to get soft. Stir in chia seeds and brown sugar, then turn off heat, cover and allow to sit for 5 minutes. Serves 4, each topped with 1 Tbs peanut butter and fresh berries.
Hope this little breakfast warms you up. Plus, it'll provide fiber, B vitamins, delicious antioxidants, protein and good fat! Be healthy!
