Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Steel-cut oats
- 3 cups Water
- 1 cup Milk (optional, for creamier texture)
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup or honey (optional, for sweetness)
- 1 cup Fresh fruit (e.g., bananas, berries, apples)
- 3 tablespoons Nuts or seeds (e.g., almonds, chia seeds, walnuts)
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon (optional, for flavor)
- 1 tablespoons Peanut butter or almond butter (optional topping)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, bring 3 cups of water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to low and stir in 1 cup of steel-cut oats and 0.25 teaspoons of salt.
Let the oats simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes. Keep an eye on them to prevent sticking to the bottom of the pan.
For a creamier oatmeal, stir in 1 cup of milk and cook for an additional 5-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the desired consistency is reached.
Once cooked, remove the oatmeal from heat and let it cool slightly. Stir in 2 tablespoons of maple syrup or honey if desired for sweetness.
Divide the oatmeal into bowls and top with your favorite combination of 1 cup of fresh fruit, 3 tablespoons of nuts or seeds, and a dash of ground cinnamon.
For added protein and flavor, drizzle 1 tablespoon of peanut butter or almond butter over each serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy your warm, hearty breakfast zone!
