Bring out the Instant Pot
Are you a big fan of the Instant Pot (IP)? I personally LOVE mine. I use it for everything from roast to hard boiled eggs to steel cut oats… and really everything in-between.
I will say though one of my favorites is making steel cut oats. They are so easy and quick and SO GOOD!
Spice it UP!
Now you could leave the oats super simple and then add in your favorite toppings. Berries, brown suagr, maple syrup, whatever you like…. or you could spice it up while it cooks.
This oatmeal is warm and comforting, like a warm drink on a winter morning, but in oatmeal form.
Why Steel Cut Oats?
Have you ever had steel cut oats? If not, why? I love them. They are hearty, have a nice little bite to them and are so dang healthy. It’s a win win if you ask me.
Now if you are a rolled oat fan… use this spice combo to turn your rolled oats into something special.
