Steel Cut Irish Oats Recipe
Renee Woodruff
I tend to switch back and forth between four different things for breakfast -- oatmeal, quinoa, greek yogurt or eggs. These choices are mainly for their health benefits, but also because there are so many variations one can make with each of these food items as a base. Today, my focus is on steel cut oats (I like John McCann's brand) with several additional ingredients to create an antioxidant, protein filled hearty breakfast that will keep you fueled throughout a busy morning.
Base:
- 1/2 a cup of cooked steel cut oats
Ingredients:
- 1 Tbsp Walnuts
- 1 Tbsp Goji Berries
- 1 Tsp Chia Seeds
- 1 Tsp Shredded Coconut
- 1 Tsp Dried Blueberries
- 1 Tsp Yellow Raisins
- Several Shakes of Cinnamon
- A drizzle of raw local honey
Yield: 2 Servings
As with any of my recipes, I only include the measurements for guidance. Add as much or as little of each ingredient as you like, and/or substitute your favorite or leave something out altogether if you don't like it. Experimentation is the key to a happy kitchen.
PS - if you aren't serving two, put the second serving in a glass storage container and refrigerate for another healthy breakfast tomorrow.
Enjoy!
