Ready Time: 40 mins
Preparation Time: 10 mins
Cooking Time: 30 mins + 5 Mins Resting
Serves: 2 - 3
Ingredients
- 1 cup (150g) steel-cut oats
- 1⁄2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2/3 cup (170 ml) milk, heated
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 to 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 punnet (125g) blueberries
- 1⁄4 cup (30g) cranberries or dried cherries
- 1⁄4 cup (20g) chopped pecans
Method
- Add oats, 1 1⁄4 cups water and salt to a medium bowl, stirring briefly to just combine. Place bowl on steaming tray and cover with the stainless steel steaming lid.
- Fill water tank up to the Max fill line with cold tap water. Press the STEAM button to select HIGH. Press the arrow up to select 30 minutes. Press START.
- Immediately after steaming is complete, remove steaming lid and cover bowl with a plate. Allow steel-cut oats to rest for 5 minutes. During this time, excess moisture will be absorbed and oats will finish cooking.
- Add butter, milk, spices and maple syrup. Serve garnished with fruit, nuts and a drizzle of maple syrup. Serve immediately.
Tip: Steamed steel-cut oats can be made in advance and refrigerated. Just reheat with a little milk or water and top with garnishes for a quick and healthy breakfast.
Note: Rolled (old fashioned) oats are a faster-cooking alternative to steel-cut oats.
