Steel-Cut Oatmeal topped with Walnuts, Almonds, Berries, & Chia Seeds

Steel-cut oatmeal, when prepared right, is way more delicious that I ever imagined. It took me a long time to ever go near oatmeal because it looked so unappealing, but now I cannot live without it. Oatmeal is also a good way to load up on nutritious toppings, like chia seeds, nuts, and fruit (all fertility superstars!). For the oatmeal,  I like to use Arrowhead Mills Steel Cut Oatmeal because it cooks in 10-12 minutes, as opposed to 30 minutes some of the others take.

This recipe makes 2 large servings.

Ingredients

• 1 cup steel cut oatmeal
• 3 tsp brown sugar per serving (you can also use agave nectar)
• blueberries for topping
• 2 tbsp raw, chopped walnuts
• 2 tbsp almond slivers
• 2 tbsp chia seeds

 

1. Cook steel cut oatmeal according to package instructions.

2. Spoon 1/2 cup cooked oatmeal into bowl (this is one generous serving). Top with 1 tbsp chia seeds and 1-1/2 tsp brown sugar and mix.

3. Top with blueberries or other fruit of your choice (bananas, blackberries, and raspberries are also delicious in oatmeal!).

4. Eat immediately while hot.
