Steel cut oats are whole oats that have been thinly sliced into pieces. They have a heartier texture than heated and flat pressed rolled oats. We love this for breakfast at our house.
1 c. steel cut oats
3 c. water
4 pitted dates, cut into small pieces
1/2 t. ground cinnamon
1/2 t. sea salt
1 T. butter
Place all ingredients in a pan and stir briefly; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes.
For an even quicker version, soak the oats in a bowl with water for 8-12 hours (overnight couldn't be simpler). In the morning, add remaining ingredients, bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, stir constantly for 5 minutes until done.
Serve with your favorite toppings - these are endless but here's what we like:
*whole milk yogurt
*applesauce
*walnuts or pecans
*real maple syrup
* sliced apples, bananas or other fresh fruit
*frozen berries
*dollop of peanut butter and jelly
