porridge, steel cut oats

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

You know those cold mornings when you get up and just crave a warm, creamy, yummy-in-the-tummy, feel-good breakfast to get you started for the day? Well, if you know what I mean, then this is the porridge for you! Oh MY GOODNESS, so satisfying and comforting! I like to add a sliced ripe banana and/or raisins to sweeten it, but any fresh fruit will do. It’s nothing to make on a busy morning; the only thing to take into account is the 15 minutes to simmer, but really– that’s it! I put mine on at 7:00 am and by 7:18, it has cooled off enough for Gabe to enjoy on his way out the door!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup water
  • 1/4 cup almond milk unsweetened
  • 1/3 cup steel cut oats
  • sprinkle of cinnamon
  • sliced fresh fruit or raisins to taste

Instructions

  • Put water and almond milk in a small saucepan and bring to a boil.
  • Pour the steel cut oats in the boiling liquid in the sauce pan, stir once and reduce the heat to a simmer and continue to cook uncovered for 15 minutes (that's important so that the almond milk doesn't boil over!).
  • Do not stir after that--Just let it do its thing until your timer goes off!
  • Turn off the stove. The porridge will still be a little "thin" at this point-that's intentional--it will thicken to a perfect creaminess by the time you transfer it to a bowl and it has had a chance to cool down a little (2 minutes!).
  • Pour the porridge into a bowl, add the cinnamon and whatever sliced fruit you'd like and stir to cool.

GABE PORRIDGE MEDIUM

Gabe (then 15 years old–in the days when I used to drive him to school!) eating his porridge on his way out the door–literally backpack on and all! I just noticed the time on the clock!! As you can tell, he doesn’t even wait for a cold day for this warm yummy breakfast–any day is a good day for porridge according to Gabe!

    I enjoy having this steel cut oatmeal most mornings. I cook up a large batch on Monday morning and out the extra in pyrex bowls to heat up later in the week. We also enjoy putting craisons and/or waluts on top to mix up the flavor a little. Great way to sratrt the day!

    I have been making this porridge every weekday for my breakfast since the first time I tried it. It’s so easy, delicious and filling. I let it simmer while I put on my makeup and then I enjoy a delicious hot, filling nutritious breakfast
