Apple Cranberry Steel Cut Oatmeal Food

APPLE CRANBERRY STEEL CUT OATMEAL RECIPE

Steps:

• To Toast Your Steel Cut Oats- optional, but adds some depth of flavor- heat up your dutch oven over medium heat and add a teaspoon of butter. When it sizzles, add the oats, and stir until lightly toasted with a pleasant toasty aroma. To Soak- Soaking enhances the nutrition profile, and makes oats easier to digest. It also saves a step the next morning. If you want to toast your oats, do that step first. All you have to do to soak is to add the oats, water, and lemon juice in your enamel or non-corrosive pan and let sit overnight.
• If desired, you can toast and/or soak your oats as directed above. Then add all remaining ingredients to your large dutch oven, and heat on medium high until boiling, stirring occasionally.
• Reduce heat to medium low and allow to simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring more toward the end as it thickens up.
• Allow to cool before serving.
• I like to reheat the leftovers for a super fast breakfast the next day.
