My Go-To Steel Cut Oats

My go-to steel cut oats has been on heavy rotation these past few months for breakfast. Now I’m onto scrambled eggs and avocado for breakfast (with fruit prior), but occasionally I’ll still have these oats for lunch or make a version of it for Mark for breakfast. It’s become such a staple for us with time so I wanted to share it here. I did a long form video making these oats on Instagram for those that like a visual.

My Go-To Steel Cut Oats

serves 1 (for me at least) – I make sure meals are more filling for me in the past year since I don’t snack that often anymore – If I’m having this for breakfast I’ll still have 1-2 servings of fruit before this. If I’m having for lunch, I might add in another TBSP of pumpkin seeds or almonds. I add whatever I need to satisfy me for a meal on a given day.

• 1/4 cup dry steel cut oats soaked in water for 24 hours – in morning drain in a fine mesh strainer and rinse well (makes close to a 1/2 cup soaked)
• 2 TBSP whole flaxseeds, freshly ground in small grinder right before adding in – grinding them whole right before use gives us the highest Omega 3 absorption
• 1 serving pumpkin seed protein powder (tastes very mild – I really enjoy it in this) – if you use a flavored protein powder you won’t need sweetener
• 1/16 tsp monk fruit powder and more to taste, or use sweetener of choice
• few shakes of pumpkin spice (my norm), you can also use cinnamon/nutmeg/cardamom/clove, sometimes I’ll stir in a small amount of Kinder Thoughts saffron coconut milk powder in place of monk fruit and almond milk during travel – pricey, but extra good and comforting – I also really stretch the packets out and only put in a 1/2 tsp or so – a treat
• 1 TBSP pumpkin seeds
• 6 or so walnuts
• good splash of homemade almond milk (I just blend soaked almonds (soaked and rinsed after 24 hrs) and filtered water)
• splash of filtered watered or heat up some water in a kettle if you want this warm (or add to microwave need be) – add just enough milk/water so you can get everything stirred to a good consistency -start with less as you can always add more – I prefer it thick and dense over soupy – I use the Smeg Kettle at our cottage and the Fellow Kettle at home – I like them both

Add everything to your serving bowl and mix together well. Adjust to your preferences. This is best mixed and eaten right before eating due to the nature of ground flaxseeds. Enjoy! Xx Riane
