Let's face it-- it isn't realistic for me to plan every single meal, let alone blog every single day. So I am just going to do what I can when I can.
I love steel cut oats. They are my new favorite breakfast food. I've had htem every day for a week now, and I LOVE them! This is the recipe I make:
1/4 cup steel cut oats
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup vanilla almond milk (I use Blue Diamond Almond Breeze...I think its easily attainable at most stores. You can use vaniulla soy milk, or if you want to use regular milk, add 1/2 tsp vanilla extract and 1/2 tsp sugar)
1/2 cup diced peaches (I've been using frozen, just let them sit on the counter a bit while the oats are cooking, then chope them up)
1 tbsp slivered almonds or diced pecans...I think I like pecans more, though
Bring the water & milk to a boil, pour in oats and reduce to a simmer. Cook about 15-20 minutes, until the oats are almost done to your liking. They will be firm, kind of chewey. I love this! I love that they have a fun texture. Add the diced peaches and nuts, and let cook a few more minutes, or until just heated through.
This is incredibly creamy, super yummy.
My original recipe isn't very time or cost efficient, so I made this one that will be really similar:
1/2 cup dry oatmeal (old fashioned rolled oats)
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup fat free milk
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp sugar
1/2 cup diced peaches
Mix the oatmeal, water & milk together in a bowl. Microwave for 3 minutes. Stir in vanilla, sugar and peaches, microwave 1 minute more.
