Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

For the oatmeal
2 tablespoons dairy butter or vegan butter
1 cup steel-cut oats
1 cup whole or unflavored, unsweetened nondairy milk
3 cups water
1⁄2 teaspoon salt
1 cup Roasted, Mashed Butternut Squash
For serving
Well-stirred tahini
Maple syrup
Brown sugar
Flaky salt

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat, then add the oats. Cook, stirring often, until they smell toasty and have darkened a shade, 3 to 4 minutes. Watch that they don't burn. Pour in the milk and water and add the salt. Bring to a boil, then stir once, partially cover the pan, and reduce to a gentle simmer. Cook for 20 minutes. Stir in the squash, then remove from the heat. (The oatmeal will thicken as it cools; stir in additional water or milk when reheating.)
  • To serve, spoon the hot oatmeal into bowls. For each serving, drizzle with 1 to 2 tablespoons tahini, 1 to 2 teaspoons maple syrup, a small spoonful of brown sugar, and a good pinch of flaky salt.

1 egg
1 tablespoon maple syrup

Tips:

  • Choose the right squash: Butternut squash is a great option for this recipe, but you can also use other types of squash, such as acorn squash or kabocha squash.
  • Roast the squash properly: Roasting the squash brings out its natural sweetness and flavor. Make sure to roast the squash until it is tender and slightly caramelized.
  • Use a good-quality tahini: Tahini is a key ingredient in this recipe, so it's important to use a good-quality tahini. Look for a tahini that is made from 100% sesame seeds and has a smooth, creamy texture.
  • Don't overcook the oats: Steel-cut oats take longer to cook than rolled oats, but it's important not to overcook them. Overcooked oats will be mushy and bland.
  • Serve the oats warm: Steel-cut oats with squash and tahini are best served warm. You can reheat them in the microwave or on the stovetop.

Conclusion:

Steel-cut oats with squash and tahini is a delicious and healthy breakfast option. It is packed with nutrients and flavor, and it is a great way to start your day. This recipe is also very versatile. You can add different toppings, such as nuts, seeds, or fruit, to customize it to your own taste.
