Quick and Easy Steel Cut Oats

For those of you who are lucky enough to have a Trader Joe’s nearby, this recipe is for you!

Pick up a container of Quick Cook Steel Cut Oats and a bottle of Pear Cinnamon Cider.

You need 3/4 cup of liquid for every 1/4 cup of steel cut oats. (For four people that’s 3 cups of liquid, and one cup of steel cut oats.)

1. Bring 1 1/2 cups of Pear Cinnamon Cider and 1 1/2 cups of water to a boil.
2. Once boiling, add a cup of Steel Cut Oats, stir, cover and reduce heat. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Spoon into bowls and serve with fresh cut fruit and orange juice.

This is a quick and easy hot breakfast  that works great on cold and snowy mornings. (Not that we get many of those in Atlanta, but if you look outside the window behind Livie, you can see we most certainly have a lot of snow.)

It has a great flavor, especially when you make it with the cider and it is creamy and filling.

Once you finish eating, grab some boots, a coat, hat and mitts and head outside to play in the snow!
