Overnight Irish Oatmeal Food

OVERNIGHT STEEL CUT OATS

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, honey, nut butter, and any protein powder you may be adding until smooth. Stir in the oats, salt, and any other optional additions (wait to add fresh fruit or nuts so that they stay fresh/crisp). Cover the bowl tightly with plastic (or transfer it to an airtight storage container) and refrigerate overnight or for up to 5 days.
• When ready to serve, stir the oats and portion the desired amount into your bowl. (At this point, you can also divide the oats into individual containers and refrigerate for the week.) Top with any desired fresh fruit, nuts, or other toppings. (If placing the oats in individual jars, feel free to add toppings to each, as they will store fine this way. If storing as a single larger batch for the week, I find it is best to wait to add the fresh toppings/nuts until just before serving so that they don't all sink to the bottom.) Enjoy cold and congratulate yourself for your breakfast-planning prowess.

CREAMY IRISH-STYLE OATMEAL WITH BROWN SUGAR RECIPE

Steps:

• If you prefer a deeper, more complex flavor, dry-toast the oats in the cooking pot over high heat, stirring and tossing constantly, until lightly toasted and fragrant, then remove from heat and proceed.
• If making overnight oats, combine oats and water/milk in a medium saucepan or 3-quart saucier and let stand, covered, overnight (if using milk, let the oats soak in the refrigerator overnight). If not making overnight oats, combine oats and water/milk in the saucepan and proceed with cooking immediately.
• If oats are still too firm to your taste, stir in additional water 1/4 cup (60ml) at a time, and continue cooking, until desired texture of oats is reached.
• Scoop porridge into warmed bowls and top with a pat of butter and/or a splash of cream. Sprinkle brown sugar on top. Serve.
