Ramp up the nutrition of your breakfast with this recipe. Did you know oatmeal is high in protein, vitamins and minerals, and healthy fiber? In addition, steel-cut oats have more protein, fewer carbs, and more soluble fiber than rolled oats. It includes additional inflammation-fighting spices as well!
You can cook the banana into the dish or save it as a topping when serving. Berries are also good for this.
Cooking Time
5-10 minutes
Yields
6 servings
Ingredients
1 Tbsp olive or avocado oil
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp fresh ground black pepper
1 cup steel-cut oats
2 cups boiling water
1 banana (optional)
Non-dairy milk of choice
Toppings: toasted slivered almonds, unsweetened shredded dried coconut, blueberries, raspberries, strawberries
Directions
- Heat a medium saucepan over high heat. Add oil. When oil is hot, turn heat to medium and add spices. Stir and allow to toast for a minute.
- Add oats. Stir until well-mixed with spices. Allow oats to toast 2-3 minutes more.
- Add boiling water. Stir. Cover and reduce heat to low.
- If using, chop banana into small pieces and add to pot. Replace lid and simmer for 5-10 minutes.
- Mix. If you find the oats are sticking to the bottom of the pot, continue to mix until water has time to loosen them. Remove from heat.
- If eating immediately, divide into bowls. Top with milk, almonds, and unsweetened coconut. If you didn't use bananas while cooking, you can use them to top your dish now, or use berries.
- Enjoy!
