Not-Your-Grandma's Oatmeal
3:08 PM
Somehow over the years, warm oatmeal got a bad rep and cold overnight oats took over. This is truly a shame because overnight oats do not hold a candle against this decadent breakfast, no matter how much Nutella you shove into that mason jar.
Not-Your-Grandma's Oatmeal
cook time: 1 hour (or 1 minute if you plan ahead)
Serves 1
Ingredients
1/4 cup steel cut oats
1/2 cup water
salt
1/2 T brown sugar
1 t cinnamon
2 T ricotta
2 dates
Instructions
- Add a healthy pinch of salt to the water and bring to boil in a sauce pan. (Note: use one size larger than you think you need to avoid overflow and messy stove tops.)
- When at full boil, sprinkle in oats and stir until oats begin to thicken (about 4-5 minutes).
- Chop the dates into little chunks.
- When oats thicken, bring heat to a simmer, cover and let sit until water has been absorbed and oats are thick and sticky (approximately just under an hour).
- While still hot, stir in cinnamon and brown sugar.
- Spoon finished oats into a bowl. Top with ricotta and dates.
- (optional) Eat while wrapped in a really big, warm blanket.
