    Apple Cinnamon Steel Cut Oats

    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.)

      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.
