I have fallen in love with a breakfast food...steel-cut oats. I have always loved oatmeal and eat it most days for breakfast. When I was home over Christmas, I saw an article in the newspaper about steel-cut oats and their health benefits. My mother-in-law gave me a box to try, and now I'm obsessed! The texture is just so much better than rolled oats, and it's so filling. I don't get hungry until lunchtime, and that's a big deal for this hard-working girl! My favorite combination is oats, cinnamon, some Splenda brown sugar, raisins and walnuts (see picture above). Yum, yum. I encourage you to try them. I use McCann's quick-cooking steel-cut oats (they only take 5 minutes to cook instead of 20-30). I make a big batch on Sunday night and then portion it out every morning, add a little milk to help them heat, and gobble them up to get me going for the day. Let me know if you try them!
Yum!! I love oatmeal and steel cut oats!! I prefer my oatmeal more savory than sweet so I put a pinch of salt and stir in a packet of almond butter -- http://www.barneybutter.com/products/category/barney-butter-snack-packs/. Me and Maggs use the 90 calorie packs.
ReplyDeleteKall, that sounds delicious! I am a huge fan of nut butters, so I've gotta give that a try :)
