One of my husband Tom's favorite breakfast grains is steel-cut oats. They're heartier than regular oatmeal and he likes it because it has a nuttier taste. As soon as the there is a hint of fall in the air, we go from regular oatmeal to steel cut.
Steel-cut oats are oat groats that have been cut so they are pretty close to a whole grain.
Hearty Steel Cut Oats 3 cups of water 1 cup of steel-cut oatmeal 1 apple, cut into small pieces pinch of sea salt dash of cinnamon (optional)
Bring water to a boil on high flame, slowly stir in oatmeal and a pinch of sea salt. Return to boil, turn heat to low, and simmer for 30-40 minutes. Makes 2-3 servings.
Optional: Nuts, seeds or dried fruit make a nice topping.
Note: This breakfast is wheat-free, but contains gluten. For both wheat- and gluten-free (and soy!), see below:
