Oatmeal Supreme
Steel Cut Oats With Apples, Blueberries, Raspberries, Strawberries & Almonds
Oatmeal, cannot be considered ‘supreme’ in our house unless it includes the aforementioned toppings.
Most of the time, our oatmeal is simply topped with a diced apple, making oatmeal supreme that much more enticing. Oatmeal with ZERO toppings? Is that what gruel is? We’ll eat that too! Oatmeal is often ‘what’s for breakfast’ on the farm.
Steel cut oats are super nutritious and will keep you full for hours. Given they are rather time consuming to prepare (low and slow is key!) we often make a big batch on the weekend, and simply reheat in the microwave during the week. As new parents, a quick, nutritious breakfast is mission critical! Adding fruit and nuts makes this hearty and healthy breakfast even more nutrient dense.

Oatmeal Supreme : Recipe Notes
Steel cut oats: Low and Slow is key to cooking steel cut oats. Low, meaning low heat and slow refers to the 40 minute cooking time. We will make a double batch on Sunday, and reheat individual portions in the microwave for the next 2 days for a super quick and healthy breakfast.
