Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Steel-cut oats
- 1 1/2 cups Water
- 1/2 cup Milk (optional, can use dairy or plant-based)
- 1/8 teaspoon Salt
- 1 Banana, sliced
- 1/2 cup Fresh berries (e.g., blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts, or pecans)
- 1 tablespoon Honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, bring the water and milk (if using) to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Stir in the steel-cut oats and salt, then reduce the heat to low. Allow the mixture to simmer, uncovered, while stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Cook the oats for about 20-25 minutes, or until they reach your desired level of creaminess. Add a splash of additional milk or water if the oats become too thick during cooking.
Once the oats are cooked, divide them evenly between two serving bowls.
Top each bowl with sliced banana, berries, and a sprinkle of chopped nuts.
Drizzle honey or maple syrup on top if additional sweetness is desired.
Finish with a dash of ground cinnamon for added flavor (optional).
Serve warm and enjoy your comforting and healthy breakfast!
