Breakfast, it can be a challenge. There are usually time constraints involved and sometimes rushing around can lead us to grab a less than healthy choice for the first meal of the day. But it doesn’t have to be that way. In fact this breakfast of Steel-Cut Oats with Seasonal Fruit is so quick and easy it could be considered a fast food!
Recipe brought to you in partnership with Pacific Foods!

Steel-Cut Oats with Seasonal Fruit

The Oats:

Steel-cut oats, also known as Irish or Scottish oats, are made when the whole groat is cut into several pieces, rather than rolled. Steel-cut oats look almost like barley and this cut gives the oats a bit more texture, what I call a hearty ‘bite’. For this recipe you can certainly cook your own steel cut oats, but I am going to share something with you that will make your morning rush a lot more leisurely… ready made steel-cut oats from Pacific Foods!

Steel-Cut Oats with Seasonal Fruit

Ready Made, All You Have To Do Is Warm It Up!

Unlike most convenience foods, this steel-cut oatmeal is certified organic and non GMO. And the oats come in five flavors: Steel Cut Unsweetened, Lightly Sweetened, Apple and Cinnamon, Maple and Brown Sugar, and Flax and Chia Power.

The Toppings:

After warming oats you simply top with your favorite seasonal fruit and nuts. Because it’s fall I chose fresh figs, pomegranate seeds, pepitas, chopped dates, red pears and blueberries. A beautiful, healthy bowl of goodness in minutes! (To see how to easily seed a pomegranate click!)
