Instant Pot Coconut Steel Oats

April 23, 2018 By

 

I like the chewiness of steel oats but cooking them on the stove can take awhile.  Being able to cook them in about 10 minutes using the Instant Pot makes having a dish of these handy throughout the week doable. 

Using a full coconut milk (found in the can) gives a richness to the breakfast cereal.

Tasty Tuesdays – Cherry Nut Steel Oats Recipe

August 11, 2015 By

Cherry Nut Steel Oat

I am a huge proponent of cooking once, cleaning the kitchen mess once and eating several times.  My freezer is one of my favorite appliances.  It provides me with variety and a grab and go tool that enables me to take care of myself and not get bored with my choices.  

This morning I pulled several of my healthy food ingredients and came up with a new way to eat steel oats. I also created two baked versions of steel oats – Layered Blueberry and Pumpkin-Pecan.  a version of the Baked Pumpkin Oats is in my downloadable e-cookbook and available HERE

Strawberry Steel Oats Sundae

August 20, 2013 By

Please follow Deliciously Inspired on Bloglovin

Who said sundaes are only made of ice cream?  Why not use those ice cream dishes to serve  breakfast for a change of pace?   They make such a cute presentation and are sure to be a kid pleaser. Don’t have sundae glasses? – small glasses can be used – but these dessert dishes can easily be found at thrift stores and sometimes dollar stores.  Changing things up – using something for another purpose can take the ordinary to extraordinary.
