Blueberry Muffin Oatmeal

March 14, 2016   10 Comments

This is an overnight steel-cut oats recipe for those busy people out there who don’t have 45 minutes in the morning to cook.

Blueberry Muffin Oatmeal

The addition of “blueberry muffin” is a sales pitch to my family who tend to shy away from steel cut oats. I’ve been told that they taste like dirt so I am attempting to push them without anyone noticing.

The difference between rolled and steel cut oats is that while both contain whole grain oats, they are processed differently. Rolled oats are steamed, rolled, steamed again and toasted, ending up as thin flakes. Steel cut oats are made from oat kernels that have been chopped into thick pieces.

The thick pieces of oats take longer to digest and rank lower on the glycemic index than rolled oats. I do feel like they keep me fuller for longer.

The problem with steel cut is that they take a long time to cook but that can be solved with a wee bit of planning.

Love this Lisa! I've been looking for this simple overnight recipe for steel cut oats. I have time to cook in the morning, but love to make a big batch for the week on Monday and heat 1 serving each morning. Apples are also good & need little to no sweetening; chop and sauté on small pan with 1/2 tsp. Smart Balance drawing out the juice. Add cinnamon to taste and top steel cut oats. Almonds or walnuts add some crunch & protein. My favorite go-to breakfast!
