Quick Steel Cut Oats
This is the kind of hearty breakfast that will warm you up on chilly Fall or Winter mornings.
These steel cut oats are very simple to make. I cook the oats on the stovetop then just add whatever toppings I am in the mood for.
I topped these Steel Cut Oats with oranges, pecans, maple syrup and yogurt. If making these vegan just omit the yogurt as a topping and you are good to go.
Are Steel Cut Oats Better for You Than Rolled or Old Fashioned Oats
Steel cut oats are minimally processed and a more natural option. They are a great high fiber breakfast.
I usually use the quick cook steel cut oats to save some time. You can use regular steel cut oats as well it will just take a bit longer to make this recipe.
Ingredients Needed For Steel Cut Oatmeal(screenshot for grocery list)
- Pinch Sea Salt
- Steel Cut Oats
- Oranges
- Dried Cranberries
Toppings
- Yogurt
- Maple Syrup
- Orange
- Pecans
How Do You Make Steel Cut Oats
- In large sauté pan or pot bring fresh orange juice, water and salt to a gentle boil.
- Add steel cut oats, orange zest and dried cranberries. Reduce heat to medium/low, cover and cook for 10-15 minutes. Stir occasionally.
- Test the consistency. At this point it will still be quite chewy. For creamier oats add 1/2 cup water and cook 5-7 minutes.
- Serve hot with toppings.
Notes: If using quick-cook steel cut oats follow the instructed cooking time on package.
What Is Good To Add To Steel Cut Oats
