BROWN-BUTTER CHOCOLATE OATMEAL



Brown-Butter Chocolate Oatmeal image

Adding a few tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder to your morning oatmeal turns a quotidian breakfast into something unexpectedly complex and bittersweet, while browning the butter adds a nutty richness. You can adapt this recipe to work in your slow cooker or pressure cooker, if that's your preference. Just brown the butter and oats first, then whisk the cocoa into the boiling water until no lumps remain, and proceed as you usually do. For something a little mellower, substitute whole milk, nut milk or coconut milk for up to half of the water.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     breakfast, grains and rice

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups steel-cut oats
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, preferably Dutch-process
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
Raw sugar, honey or maple syrup, to taste
Cream, milk or coconut milk
Butter
Flaky sea salt
Sliced bananas
Shredded coconut
Sliced dates
Sliced avocado

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Let cook, swirling occasionally, until it turns deep golden brown and smells nutty, 2 to 4 minutes. You'll know it's close when the bubbling quiets down as the moisture cooks off. Add oats and sauté until they turn golden at the edges, 2 to 4 minutes. Scrape oats and butter into a bowl and reserve.
  • To the same pot (no need to rinse it out first) add 4 1/2 cups water and bring to a boil. Add cocoa powder and whisk well to dissolve lumps. Whisk in buttered oats and salt.
  • Lower to a gentle simmer. Let cook, stirring occasionally, until done to taste, 25 to 30 minutes. Turn off the heat, cover the pot, and let sit for 5 minutes. Check the thickness; thin with boiling water if needed. Stir in sweetener to taste and serve with toppings of your choice.

BROWN BUTTER AND CINNAMON STEEL-CUT OATS OATMEAL



Brown Butter and Cinnamon Steel-Cut Oats Oatmeal image

Originally inspired by Alton Brown's popular recipe, I came up with this impossibly good deviation that might just change the way you think about oatmeal. Featuring browned butter and toasted oats/cinnamon for subtlety, oat milk for extra oatiness, wheat germ for health benefits, and eggs for richness, this recipe makes every bowl a treat. Occasionally I'll add milled flax seed with the wheat germ towards the end.

Provided by nomospam

Categories     Breakfast

Time 1h2m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup steel cut oats
2 -3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 -3 cinnamon sticks
4 cups plain oat milk (available near the rice milk, almond milk, etc.)
1/3-1/2 cup dark brown sugar (to taste)
1/3-1/2 cup wheat germ
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Heat butter in pot or pan. Continue cooking, while stirring frequently, on medium until it's a hazelnut color, but do not burn it.
  • Add all the oats to the browned butter, leaving it on medium heat.
  • Add cinnamon sticks to this.
  • Stir oats/cinnamon sticks frequently until the oats darken. It should be smelling pretty good.
  • Add all the oat milk.
  • Bring the mix to a boil while stirring.
  • Once it boils, reduce heat to low and let simmer for maybe 25-30 minutes covered. You can stir occasionally, and if it sticks to the bottom, don't worry, it's still good.
  • Remove the lid and add brown sugar. Keep simmering uncovered for another 10 or 15 minutes, until the oats are thicker and soft. You do still want to have a bit of fluid at this point, though, so the next step doesn't make it too dry.
  • Add wheat germ. This gives it a bit of flavor and texture, as well as some health benefits. The wheat germ should take up some of the fluid and make it somewhat thick now.
  • Let cool for a few minutes until it's warm, not hot. Add eggs and vanilla and stir. At this point, it should have a traditional porridge consistency, as the eggs add wetness.
  • Enjoy!

STEEL CUT OATMEAL



Steel Cut Oatmeal image

I found this on Alton Brown's Good Eats and it is delicious. Adding the step of toasting with butter really adds to the flavor. Plus, adding the (already) boiling water to the toasted grains and letting it cook without constant attention (like a pilaf!) makes preparation soooo easy. And the buttermilk adds richness to the mix. My family loves the hearty flavor and texture of Scottish (steel-cut) oats, and this is the best recipe I've ever found.
