Cinnamon Groats
 
 
Ingredients
  • 3 cups water
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup steel-cut oats
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 apple, diced
  • 1/8 tsp nutmeg
  • Optional Toppings (or what’s in your cupboard at the time)
  • trail mix
  • nuts (almonds, walnuts)
  • dried fruit (apricots, raisins, dates)
  • berries, fresh or frozen
  • bananas
  • honey
  • maple syrup
  • agave syrup
  • golden brown sugar
  • milk or cream
Instructions
  1. Pour 3 cups of water into a large pot. Add a pinch of salt and the diced apple. Bring to a boil. Gently add the steel-cut oats, gradually while stirring constantly. Bring back to a boil then lower heat until the oats are simmering. Stir in cinnamon and nutmeg. Continue to cook, stirring quite often (it tends to stick to the bottom of the pot), until the oats have softened and the mixture has the consistency you desire (some like their oats thin, others prefer thicker oatmeal). It will take a while, approximately 25 – 30 minutes.
