Description
A warm and deliciously gooey oatmeal breakfast always reminds me of my youth and my mother making sure that I received a balanced breakfast for the day. This is a step up from just plain rolled oats out of the box.
An easy breakfast with a little pre-planning. So tasty and good for you.
Ingredients
- FOR THE STEEL CUT OATS:
- 4 cups Almond Breeze Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk Or Substitute An Equal Amount Of Water Instead
- 1 cup Steel Cut Oats
- 1 pinch Salt
- FOR THE BERRY OATMEAL:
- 1 cup Cooked Steel Cut Oats
- 1 Tablespoon Slivered Almonds
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- ¼ cups Almond Breeze Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk
- 1 package Truvia Or Other Natural Sweetener, Optional (individual, Table Size Packet)
- ¼ cups Sliced Frozen Berries
Preparation
Prepare the steel-cut oats:
In a 2-quart saucepan, bring the 4 cups of almond milk or water to a low boil. Add the 1 cup of steel-cuts oats and salt, and cook according to package instructions. Then cool to room temperature (about 1 hour). Store in the refrigerator or freezer and reheat as needed.
Personal notes: I used the largest pot I had to bring the almond milk to a boil. It is very foamy and you must stay with it, even if you cover it and let it simmer for 10 minutes. I also doubled the recipe, so that I didn’t have to keep remaking the oats it for the week. So … every morning I have oatmeal ready to add berries to it, or peaches if you like.
The above amount of oats makes four 1-cup servings.

Prepare your oatmeal:

Personal note: I don’t use the sweetener, this is very sweet already.
