Description
Steel-cut oats with berries and flaxseed provide a nutrient-dense, fiber-rich start to your day using simple, hearty ingredients. This wholesome bowl combines chewy groats, anti-oxidant packed berries, and omega-3 loaded flax meal for sustained energy throughout your morning. This method produces a satisfying texture and deep, nutty flavor profile that provides a superior experience compared to processed instant oatmeal.
Ingredients
1 cup steel-cut oats
3 cups water or plant-based milk
1 Tbs ground flax seeds
2 cups mixed fresh berries
Instructions
Combine 1 cup steel-cut oats, 3 cups water, and 1 tablespoon ground flax seeds in a medium saucepan.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium-high heat while stirring briefly.
Reduce the heat to low and cover your saucepan completely with a tight-fitting lid.
Simmer the oats for 20 to 25 minutes or until the liquid is almost entirely absorbed.
Top the prepared bowl with 2 cups of fresh berries and serve immediately.
Notes
You can pre-soak the oats for 8 to 12 hours for a faster morning preparation; if doing so, only simmer for 5 minutes. For extra depth of flavor, toast the dry grains in the saucepan briefly before adding liquids.
