Another of the yummy breakfast recipes in the Xagave cookbook is Apple Cinnamon Steel Cut Oats. Steel cut oats have a nutty, crunchy taste and texture. I prefer mine a little softer, so I like to make it in the evening and then just warm up a bowl of it in the microwave in the morning.
Breakfast doesn’t get much healthier than steel cut oats, but topped with a little fruit, some nuts, and a drizzle of agave, I still feel like I’m getting a sweet treat in the morning. (The picture is from the cookbook, mine looked sort of gray.)
Ingredients
- 1 cup steel cut oats
- 4 cups water
- 1/2 t. salt (optional)
- 1 t. cinnamon
- 4 T. Xagave
- 1/2 cup of apple chunks or grated apple

- Put all ingredients except apples into a pot. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. Add apples for last five minutes of cooking. Pour into bowl and top with Xagave or Xagave Maple Syrup. Add nuts and milk to taste.

I love steel cut oats! It's always so filling for breakfast:)
Oprah is always talking about Steel Cut Oatmeal, but I've never tried it. Your bowl look so good, I just want to dig in! I love the apple and cinnamon flavors!
I am LOVING all these agave recipes. And boy do I want a bowl of those oats. They look soooo good!!
This sounds really good!
Barbara,
I've never had steel cut oats before. I've heard they are very healthy for you. How different are they from regular oatmeal? I love the apples on top.
This not only sounds delicious, but nice and healthy as well. Love apple/cinnamon flavor!!
This is my favorite way to eat oats with apple and cinnamon!
YUm! Apple and cinnamon is such a great match for oats. I keep hearing about Steel Cut Oats from Dr Oz on oprah but we don't get them here (or if we do they're marketed under a different name). I must look into it further as it sounds like it has some really good nutritional benefits
Looks deliciousd and a great, hearty breakfast!
I LOVE steel cut oats, and this sounds like a great way to use them!
I have never made steel cut outs, but these look so tasty I think I need to give them a try!
Well, I only put lowfat mayo on my redneck gyros b/c I dump about nine spoonfuls on there, so it might as well be real. Plus, I couldn't find my miracle whip. And I wasn't putting any yuppy yogart on there.
I love steel cut oats. They are definitely a favorite. Looks great with the apple cinnamon topping!
That is the kind of breakfast I would love!
yahoo! for steel cut oats. I purchase mine from the health food store here in Regina Canada & the quality is better than the grocery stores. I cook mine in a small rice cooker with the lid off & add a tablespoon of peanut butter near the end. I also sprinkle craisins & mixed nuts. So So good for all of us.
I cooked my first batch of steel cut oats this morning. They were incredible, so different from regular rolled oats that I’ve been eating every morning for months.
I cooked them in the microwave and used 1/2 water and 1/2 Vanilla Soy (Silk) beverage in place of all water or 1/2 water and 1/2 milk. Then loaded it with fresh strawberries and sliced bananas with a sprinkle of granola and a shake or two of cinnamon and cocoa. Breakfast of champions !!
If you are rushed for time in the morning, as steel cut oats take a long time to cook and need to be watched over in the microwave, cook up a large pot full and then just reheat in the morning with a little more milk and… viola, instant super healthy breakfast.
You must try Steel Cut Oats, they look a little odd but well worth the effort.
