tk’s steel cut oats

tk’s steel cut oats

This is what I eat for breakfast probably 5-6 days per week (always Monday through Friday).  I call it “breakfast”, sorry no fancy names yet for this one. It’s basic. It has a nice color, texture, some sweet, some hot, some cold, some crunch, some soft. It’s just a party for your mouth.

The way I make it, you’re staring down the spoon at around 350 calories or so, but those calories are packed with fiber, essential proteins & fats, and a good dose of antioxidants.  This is a great way to start your day and it just takes a few minutes to make!

stuff you’ll need:

  • ¼ cup steel cut oats
  • ¼  cup frozen blueberries (or 1 tbsp goji berries)
  • 6 raw almonds
  • 6 raw walnut halves
  • 1 tbsp shelled hemp seed (yes, it’s legal)
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 tbsp ground flax seed
  • a few dashes of cinnamon

what to do with the stuff

stove top method (this is how I do it):

  • boil some water
  • put oats in bowl
  • pour hot water over oats
  • put the rest on top, stir and eat

microwave method:

  • put oats in bowl (large is best so it does not bubble over)
  • add water (not much) just so that it is equal to the level of the oats
  • microwave on high for 2 min
  • put the rest on top, stir and eat

 variations:

  • If you aren’t a fan of oatmeal, it’s only because you haven’t figured out how you like it. There are so many things you can do with steel cuts. Stir in a milk alternative to make it creamier. Change up what you mix in for a little variety. People who aren’t fans of breakfast prefer mixing in veggies instead of fruit. It’s a simple grain, so you can have fun with it until you find what you love. Pretty soon you’ll find yourself looking forward to your breakfast oatmeal.
