Number Of Ingredients 19

ICING:
1 cup old-fashioned oatmeal
1 1/4 cup boiling water
1 stick unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
2/3 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup flaked coconut
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons cream, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan. In a small, bowl, combine the oatmeal with the boiling water and let it sit for 20 minutes. In a medium bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar. In a small bowl, whisk the eggs and vanilla together. In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt together until well blended. Add the egg mixture to the oatmeal mixture and stir until combined. Then add the sugar/butter mixture to the egg/oatmeal mixture and stir until combined. Add the egg/oatmeal mixture to the flour mixture and stir until combined. Pour into baking pan and bake about 30 to 35 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean. While cake is baking make the icing. In a medium bowl, cream the butter and brown sugar. Add the walnuts, coconut, and vanilla. If you need to thin the icing a bit, add the cream 1 tablespoon at a time. Immediately after you remove the cake from the oven, adjust your oven to "broil". Spread the icing on the hot cake and pop it under the broiler until it's a bit brown and the coconut is toasted. If possible, serve warm.

Yield Makes 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 cup Irish, Scottish, or any steel-cut oatmeal, or 2 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
Pinch coarse salt
Infused Honey
Stewed Fruit

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a large heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add the oats, and toast, tossing and turning oats, until oatmeal is browned and fragrant, about 4 minutes. Add 4 cups water and salt, and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until most of the water has evaporated and the oatmeal is tender, about 30 minutes for the Irish oatmeal and 10 minutes for the old-fashioned rolled oats. Serve hot with the toppings of your choice.

Tips:

  • Use old-fashioned rolled oats for the best texture and flavor.
  • Rinse the oats before cooking to remove any debris or bitterness.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot to prevent the oats from burning.
  • Bring the oats and water to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5-10 minutes, or until the oats are tender.
  • Stir the oats occasionally to prevent them from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  • Season the oats with salt, butter, and milk to taste.
  • Add your favorite toppings, such as brown sugar, maple syrup, nuts, or fruits.

Conclusion:

Old-fashioned Irish oatmeal is a hearty and delicious breakfast that is perfect for a cold morning. It is also a good source of fiber and nutrients. With a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can make a delicious bowl of oatmeal that will keep you satisfied all morning long.
