Tips
If you prefer to have your oatmeal less creamy use:
1 cup of plant-based milk and 1 cup of water
If you're in a time crunch:
Soak your steel cut oats in a bowl of water the night before, drain, and use
Use quick-cooking steel-cut oats
Stir, stir, stir:
Nothing is more annoying than burning the bottom of your pot, prevent this by stirring in between prepping your toppings :)
Steel-Cut Oats
The switch from rolled oats/quick oats to steel-cut was the best change to my breakfast routine, and haven’t looked back since
Steel-Cut Oats are:
- Nuttier, textured
- Low Glycemic Index
- Less Processed
- High in dietary fibres
Toppings
Okay, let's talk toppings. For me, the toppings are what makes it. If my meals don’t look pleasing to the eyes, it doesn’t please the stomach
Chia seeds, Hemp Hearts, Pumpkin Seeds, Raw Coconut, and Cocoa Nibs are not only delicious but are packed with loads of nutritional benefits such as:
- High in Omega-3 Fatty Acids
- High in Antioxidants
- High in Fibre
- High in Potassium
- High in Magnesium
- Source of Protein
