Maple Steel Cut Oats in a Jar with Berries
4 days of delicious breakfast to go
INGREDIENTS
1 cup of steel cut oats
4 cups of water
4 tablespoons of maple syrup
2 tablespoons of flax seeds (optional)
1 tablespoon of chia seeds (optional)
1/2 cup of frozen berries
4 jars
DIRECTIONS
Bring the water to a boil then add the steel cut oats along with the seeds. Let oats come to a boil, then turn to a medium low simmer for 25 minutes until the water is almost all absorbed. Stir in the maple syrup. Divide this mixture into 4 jars then top each jar with a generous amount of frozen berries. Screw on the lids then refrigerate until your busy morning begins.
Remove the jar lid, then microwave for 1.5 minutes covered with a paper towel (to prevent the berries from splattering all over your microwave). Stir and enjoy with a splash of warmed almond milk!

I eat steel cut oats almost every day. I simplifed the cooking process (which is just for me). I put 1/4 C oats and 1 C water into the tiny crock pot that I think was probably originally designed to keep Nacho dip hot, and let it cook until I’m ready to eat it. It rarely overcooks, no matter how long I take. If I know it will be a lengthly period I unplug it after a few hours. Paming the pot’s sides keeps the oats from sticking. Adding fresh or dried fruit and nuts or seeds add more nutrition and variety to this healthy, easy meal.
