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.

Ingredients

  1. 2 Cups of steel cut oats
  2. 8 Cups of water
  3. 7 Tablespoons maple syrup
  4. 2 ½ teaspoons Cinnamon
  5. ¼ teaspoon salt

Method

  1. Bring water and salt to a full rolling boil.
  2. Add oats and turn down the heat.
  3. Simmer for half an hour.
  4. Let stand for ten minutes.
  5. Add syrup and cinnamon.
  6. Grease 2 X 12 muffin pans.
  7. Spoon into 21. Three “ steel muffins” will be your breakfast portion.
  8. Freeze for five hours.
  9. Seal in a freezer bag.
  10. Heat for 2/3 minutes, add toppings. Enjoy.

It couldn’t be more convenient. It may take time to prep but it’s well worth it.

Because you can never have to much oatmeal 🙈🙈I made sure to take in some well needed fuel before today’s lower body workout I was in desperate need of. Spring Break for my oldest definitely is not a vacation for mom 😑😑 More like extra chaos and rushing around for this momma so it was nice to get in a good workout. I topped my Steel Cut Oats w/ Banana, Cocoa Powder, Unsweetened Coconut, Almond Butter, Chia & Hemp Seeds. The perfect balance for a PreWorkout Meal 😏 #healthyfood #healthybreakfast #healthyeating #healthyfuel #preworkout #preworkoutmeal #preworkoutfuel #preworkoutfood #steelcutoats #steelcutoatmeal #steelcutoatsfordays #weightlossfood #weightlossfoodideas #legdayfuel #legdaypreworkout
