Steel Cut Oats

So here's another new one for me... Steel Cut Oats.  I'm sorry but I've never heard of that before.  (This was one of those items that I relied on Chef Michael to show me where to find them in the store.)

So are you ready for breakfast?

This recipe makes 2 servings.

1/3 cup Steel Cut Oats
1 cup Water
1/4 tsp salt

Heat water over medium/high heat on stove and add salt.
Just as the water is beginning to boil, add oats.
Immediately turn to low and let it barely simmer (you'll see the simmer just around the edges of the pot).
Cover and set timer for 20 minuets.
At the 10 minute point, stir.
When you're down to 5 minutes left, shut it off and move pot to a cool burner for the remaining 5 minutes.
When complete, add anything you like.  For mine, I added a tablespoon of crunchy peanut butter and a glob of honey, as well as a cut up banana (per portion).  You can also add any fruits that you like.  Mix and match and make it your own.

And that's breakfast.  If you're making this for just yourself, eat half of the batch and store the remaining batch (without anything added) in the refrigerator for up to a day. 

This, my friends, was DELICIOUS! My taste buds were so happy.  With the honey, it had just the right amount of sweetness and the crunchy peanut butter made it taste yummo!  It's also quite filling and will easily hold you over until your next meal.

In my grocery store, the Steel Cut Oats were found in the Health Food section.

Another win for Chef Michael!
