Steel cut oats
I’ve had a container of steel cut oats in the pantry for months. I always eye it and think, nah…and I push it back. Today, I decided to give it a try. I personally don’t view one type of oatmeal better than the other, but I really liked the texture of these steel cut oats.
Most recipes call for overnight soaking of the oats to soften them and make them creamier.
I did not soak the oats! Instead, I toasted the oats in the butter for 2 minutes before adding to the liquid. This toasting step greatly enhanced the flavour of the oats.
Oats are endlessly customizable, never mushy, and can be made ahead for healthy breakfasts all week. Adjust your liquid (milk to water ratio) according to how thick you’d like them to be (less liquid = thicker steel cut oatmeal). Use your favourite milk.
Bring the liquid to a shimmer and after toasting the oats add to the liquid and cook to desired thickness. Oats are a healthy blank canvas for any of your favorite toppings and mix-ins.
Steel cut oatmeal can be refrigerated for up to 1 week and up to 3 months in the freezer. Let thaw overnight in the refrigerator.

Overnight oats are, of course, a healthy breakfast and they re easy to make, but they also feel like a special treat, sweet with dried fruit. Unlike oatmeal, uncooked but softened oats retain a fresh flavor and taste delicious cold. Top it with nuts just before eating for an irresistible crunch against the creamy oats.#GlobalApron

Cranberry Orange Steel Cut Oats Cranberry Orange Steel Cut Oats
I had leftover fresh cranberries and was making my weekly oatmeal breakfasts. This came out really good. While still hot I divide into 5 containers and put in fridge so I can just microwave on way out the door. The oatmeal continues to thicken once in fridge. In morning just microwave 2 minutes, add a little sugar free orange marmalade and some walnuts and enjoy! Gluten free and my version is sugar free too!

Strawberry Vanilla Overnight Oats Strawberry Vanilla Overnight Oats
This recipe is a great way to infuse your overnight oats with a wonderful, all natural strawberry flavor... much better than those packs of artificially flavored instant oats. It's different (and in my opinion much tastier) than just topping your oatmeal with fresh berries.
