Now that it’s getting colder, I love starting my mornings off with some warm steel cut oats that will keep me full until lunch. Because steel cut oats can be daunting to cook, I like to make a big batch on the weekend so I can enjoy it through the rest of the week. I separate all of the oats out in containers and microwave in the morning and add my toppings before heading off to work. This is also delicious with a splash of almond milk mixed in.
