Creamy Steel Cut Oats
Start your day with a warm hug in a bowl. This creamy steel cut oatmeal is perfect for chilly mornings or whenever you need a little pick-me-up.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup steel cut oats
- 4 cups water (you can also use milk for extra creaminess!)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1-2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (to sweeten your day!)
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (for a dash of spice!)
- Your favorite toppings: fresh fruits, nuts, or a dollop of yogurt!
Instructions:
- In a medium saucepan, bring the water (or milk) to a boil. Add salt to taste unless you’re on a low-sodium mission!
- Once boiling, stir in the steel cut oats. Reduce heat to low and let it simmer. Remember, this isn’t a race; it takes around 20-30 minutes for those oats to get all fluffy and creamy!
- Keep an eye on your oats and stir occasionally. This is crucial to prevent any oatmeal drama at the bottom of the pot! No one likes burnt oats!
- After about 20 minutes, check the oats. If they’re too firm for your liking, give them a bit more time. If they’re perfect, add in the cinnamon, honey, or maple syrup, and mix it all up until beautifully combined.
- Now, here’s the best part: it’s topping time! Get creative and add anything from bananas to walnuts. The world is your oyster; it just happens to be a bowl of oats!
- Serve it up in a bowl and enjoy your warm, delicious, creamy steel cut oats. You deserve it!
There you have it! A delightful, hearty breakfast that doesn’t just fill your belly – it also warms your heart. Perfect for those days when you want a little extra love to start your morning!
