Oats are great for breakfast. On their own they're pretty bland, but become
|
|
great when you add some things to the bowl. This recipe offers some suggestions
|
|
on what to add, but is by no means a comprehensive overview of what you can do
|
|
with oats.
|
|
|
|
We cover both rolled and steel cut oats. Instant need not apply.
|
|
|
|
## Ingredients
|
|
|
|
- oats
|
|
- water
|
|
- pinch of salt
|
|
|
|
Pick and choose additional ingredients:
|
|
|
|
- chopped banana
|
|
- any berries
|
|
- cinnamon
|
|
- peanut butter
|
|
|
|
## Directions
|
|
|
|
1. Bring water (with pinch of salt) to boil.
|
|
2. Add oats. Use a 2:1 water-to-oats ratio (by volume) for rolled oats, 3:1 for
|
|
steel cut.
|
|
3. Boil on medium heat until most of the water has been absorbed/evaporated.
|
|
Rolled oats will be ready quicker than steel cut.
|
|
4. Pour over fruit in bowl (if having fruit).
|
|
5. Sprinkle cinnamon (if having cinnamon).
|
|
6. Mix.
|
|
7. Add a spoonful of peanut butter (if having peanut butter).
|
|
|
|
## Serving sizes
|
|
|
|
You'll need less dry steel cut oats versus rolled oats for the same serving
|
|
size. My personal "standard serving" is 1/3 cup steel cut or 1/2 cup rolled
|
|
(note that, per the ratios above, both of these end up needing 1 cup water).
