When I woke up today, I think the breakfast gods are smiling on me.
Because I made healthy and delicious breakfast…
I have a bad habit of not eating breakfast, you know.
Today is the exemption, I am celebrating my first cup of coffee via the stovetop coffee maker peanutbutter♥ sent me.
The breakfast gods created the perfect morning for me♥.
If there are breakfast gods…but I think it’s all me.{of course, there are no breakfast gods!}
I’m such in a good mood, I made apple pie oatmeal.
And I used steel cut oats. They are healthier, less processed and takes longer to cook. Instant oatmeals cooks in, like, 4 seconds. {hee, no, I’m just exaggerating}
Steel cut oats cooks in 20-30 minutes but believe me it’s totally worth the stirring/waiting time.
♥ It actually tastes like apple pie a la mode because the milk makes it creamier.
- ½ cup steel-cut oats
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 cups water
- 1 apple, peeled and diced
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- a pinch of cinnamon
- If you’re feeling a little fancy, you can caramelize the diced apple in butter and brown sugar before mixing it with the cooked oatmeal.
- Or if not, combine milk, water, apple and oats in a small pot.
- Bring to a boil with constant stirring to prevent it from sticking in the bottom of the pot and burning.
- Simmer for 20-30 minutes, while stirring constantly.
- Add cinnamon and brown sugar. Add a little more sugar if you like it sweeter.
- Serve hot.
