Would you like to have steel cut oats for breakfast but are out off by the extra cooking time?

This oatmeal is super delicious and chewier as it is processed differently to quick cook rolled oats. It needs at least half an hour to cook which is not very time efficient. Luckily there is a great way to prep ahead.

Simply cook, and freeze in a muffin pan. You will have steel cut oats portions that can be reheated instantly. Delighted? We are.
