In addition to avocados and pickled jalapeños, I have an equally strong obsession with steel-cut oats. I don’t know what’s come over me. But avocados, steel-cut oats, pickled jalapeños and craft beer are my thing. They say your tastebuds change as you get older and that must certainly be true, because as I closely approach the fourth decade of my life these items are my favorites.
The fresh peaches that are available this time of year are so decadent. I couldn’t resist adding some to my recent bowl of cooked oats. My youngest son and I greatly enjoyed this filling breakfast. I chopped up a few slices of peaches and added them to the oats as they were cooking. This allowed them to become a bit more soft and stewed.
For sure steel-cut oats take longer to cook than regular oatmeal, but I find the consistency to be worth the extra time. I can’t make this breakfast everyday, but at least once a week {especially in the winter} it’s such a great way to start the day.
- 1/2 cup steel-cut oats,
- 1 cup milk,
- one ripe peach,
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- Cook steel-cut oats with milk according to package directions. If the oats become a little dry while cooking add a little extra milk. Dice part of one ripe peach and add to oats while cooking. Once steel-cut oats are cooked and have become soft add brown sugar and mix. Add fresh slices peaches to the finished oats.
This looks delicious! I love the fresh peaches!
Excellent idea for a healthy breakfast to get the day started off right!
Oh YUM! This is such a hearty and healthy breakfast idea. I love the taste of steel cut oats and the peach with it is delicious.
Yum! I love oatmeal.
This looks yummy! If only I wasn’t always rushing out the door for work in the morning.
I love adding fresh fruit to oatmeal. I eat this almost every morning before work.
Yum! We love our oatmeal here. I can’t wait to try this- I needed a new idea! Thanks!
I recently bought some steel cut oatmeal to try some overnight oatmeal and this sounds perfect! Thanks for the idea!
I’ve never tried steel cut oats before but i’ll have to now. This recipe sounds so good!
