Steel-cut oatmeal is a hearty and nutritious breakfast option that can be enjoyed all year round. Made from whole oat groats that have been chopped into smaller pieces, steel-cut oats take longer to cook than rolled oats, but the result is a chewy, flavorful porridge that is packed with fiber, protein, and vitamins. Steel-cut oatmeal is also a versatile dish that can be paired with a variety of toppings, such as fresh fruit, nuts, seeds, and spices. Whether you're looking for a quick and easy weekday breakfast or a leisurely weekend brunch, steel-cut oatmeal with fruit is a delicious and satisfying choice.

STEEL-CUT OATMEAL WITH FRUIT



Steel-Cut Oatmeal With Fruit image

Steel-cut oatmeal is my new favorite hot breakfast. It has more texture than rolled or flaked oats and really sticks to your ribs. But this tasty cereal takes about 25 to 30 minutes to cook - not what you need when you're trying to get out the door. So I make a batch that will last a few days; it keeps well in the refrigerator, and you can reheat small portions gently atop the stove or in the microwave. You can also freeze this oatmeal in ice cube trays, an idea I got from oncology nutritionist Maria C. Romano. She contributed the recipe from which this one is adapted to the "Eat Healthy, Shop Smart" community farmers' market program at Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups water
2 cups low-fat milk
1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
1 cup steel-cut oats
1 teaspoon unsalted butter (optional)
2 to 4 tablespoons dried fruit, such as raisins, chopped dried apricots, dried cranberries
1 to 2 teaspoons maple syrup, agave syrup, honey or brown sugar (more to taste)
Fresh fruit (such as diced apples and pears, optional)

Steps:

  • Combine the water, milk and salt in a large, heavy saucepan, and bring to a boil. Slowly add the oats, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer 15 minutes, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon. Stir in the butter, dried fruit and sweetener. Cover, and continue to simmer for another 10 to 15 minutes, stirring often to prevent the cereal from sticking to the bottom of the pan, until the oats are soft and the mixture is creamy. Serve, with added fruit stirred in if desired, or refrigerate and reheat as desired. Or freeze as follows:
  • Line ice cube trays with plastic wrap. Fill each cube with oatmeal, cover with plastic wrap and freeze. Once frozen solid, remove the cubes from the ice tray and freeze in a plastic bag. For each portion, thaw three or four cubes in a microwave on the defrost setting. Add additional warm milk if desired.

BAKED OATMEAL - STEEL CUT



Baked Oatmeal - Steel Cut image

This is my twist on a recipe from Epicurious. I love steel cut oats, so I modified the recipe a bit to add a few healthier twists. I make a batch on the weekend, then portion it up for us to grab and go for breakfast at work. Just pop it in the microwave, and top it with some Greek honey yogurt. You can easily swap out the bananas and berries for apples, which we do in our house also! Fresh or frozen berries will also work. If you are short on time, you can swap out old fashioned oats for the steel cut and eliminate the soaking. NOTE:The prep time does not include the soaking of the steel cut oats.

Categories     Oatmeal

Time 55m

Yield 8-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups steel cut oats, soaked overnight
1/2 cup walnut pieces, chopped
1/3 cup maple syrup, plus more for serving
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
scant 1/2 teaspoon fine-grain sea salt
2 cups milk
1 large egg
2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted and cooled slightly
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 ripe bananas, sliced
1 1/2 cups blueberries or 1 1/2 cups mixed berries

Steps:

  • Measure the 2 cups of steel cut oats into a container and cover with water. Place them in the fridge to soak overnight and soften a bit (I have let them soak for a day or two before and it doesn't change anything). SHORT ON TIME - you can use 2 cups old fashioned oats instead for an even swap.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F with a rack in the top third of the oven. Spray a 9X13 pan with cooking spray. You can also use a 8-inch square pan if you prefer.
  • Drain the water off the oats and let them sit in a colander for a bit to get all the water off.
  • Arrange the bananas in a single layer in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle two-thirds of the berries over the top.
  • In a large mixing bowl, mix together the oats, half the walnuts, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  • Cover the fruit with the oat mixture.
  • In the same mixing bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, milk, egg, coconut oil, and the vanilla.
  • Slowly drizzle the milk mixture over the oats. Gently give the baking dish a couple thwacks on the countertop to make sure the milk moves through the oats. Scatter the remaining berries and remaining walnuts across the top.
  • Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, until the top is nicely golden and the oat mixture has set. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Drizzle with maple syrup if you want it a bit sweeter before serving. Serve with vanilla or honey yogurt as a topping.
