Steel Cut Oats All Dressed Up

Let's try and get away from box cereals and try to look towards foods that are closest to their natural state.

Serves 1              Prep Time: Less than 5 minutes              Cook time: 25 minutes

Ingredients:

1/3 cup steel cut oats

2/3 water

1 pitted and halved date

1 banana

2 Tbsps. raw pumpkin seeds

2 Tbsps., freshly ground flax seeds

2 Tbsps. nut butter

sprinkle of cinnamon (optional)

milk or milk alternative

Instructions:

1. Add steel cut oats and the date to a pot of water. Bring to a boil and simmer until no longer watery (about 20-25 minutes)

2. Top with banana, pumpkin seeds, flax, nut butter and milk (I use oat milk).

If you are someone who gets hungry shortly after eating a grain breakfast this is for you. If you have an underactive stomach or feel full for a long time after eating, I recommend leaving out the banana and nut butter.
