Steel-Cut Oats Breakfast Bowl
One of the healthiest, low-fat, and delicious vegan breakfast options out there is a big ole bowl of creamy steel-cut oatmeal. Change up the toppings to keep it new every single morning!
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup steel cut oats
- 1 cup plant milk (or water)
- 1/2 ripe banana
- pinch ground cinnamon
- fresh or frozen fruit for toppings
- 1 teaspoon crush walnuts (optional)
- 1 tablespoon raisins (optional)
Instructions
- Choose a medium-size microwave-safe bowl and measure out 1/4 cup steel-cut oats. Add 1 cup plant milk and 1/2 of a ripe banana to sweeten. Adding banana is optional, but I highly recommend it. Microwave on medium heat for 2-minutes.
- After the first 2 minutes, carefully use a fork to mash the banana that is now very soft. The bowl will be hot, so handle with care. Stir it well and place it back in the microwave and cook for another 2-minutes.
- Once it is finished, add ground cinnamon, crushed walnuts, raisins, and fresh berries to serve. More topping ideas are listed above in the article.
Notes
Stovetop directions
To make steel-cut oats on the stovetop, you’ll want to make more than one serving because saucepans are just larger in size.
Bring 4 cups of plant milk or water to a boil in a saucepan. Add 1 cup steel-cut oats and 1 ripe banana. Cover and lower the heat. Allow to cook for 20-30 minutes stirring occasionally.
Once it has finished cooking, add cinnamon, raisins, and fresh fruit. Total Time 20-30 minutes.
Instant Pot directions
Due to the size of an Instant Pot, you will want to make more than an individual serving.
Add 3 cups of plant-milk or water to the Instant Pot along with 1 cup steel-cut oats and 1 ripe banana.
Close and lock the lid and press the MANUAL button and set the timer to 4 minutes. It will take approximately 10-15 minutes for the pressure to build up before the cooking timer begins.
Once it beeps, allow it to naturally release for 10 minutes. Slide to VENT and carefully open the lid. Add cinnamon, raisins, and fresh fruit to serve. Total Time 25-30 minutes.
