Steel Cut Oatmeal
Learn How to Make Steel Cut Oatmeal with this easy steel cut oatmeal recipe!
One morning last week I had to take my car in to have a tire patched (apparently I had run over an enormous screw), and while my car was being worked on – I walked over to a little restaurant and ordered myself a bowl of oatmeal for breakfast.
My heart really tugged on the “potato mess” listed on the menu (potatoes covered in cheese, salsa, and guacamole), but I was good and went with the heart-healthy oatmeal and fruit. I sat outside where it was sunny and warm, and had a really nice peaceful breakfast.
I don’t know about you – but I really love the comforts of steel cut oatmeal for breakfast. I always have.
Especially when the bowl is loaded with fresh organic fruit!!
Sometimes I’ll sprinkle ground flaxseeds and a little extra cinnamon to the top of my oatmeal for the added nutritional benefits. You can grind flaxseeds in a coffee grinder.
