Pumpkin Spice Steel Cut Oats
3 steps
Prep:10minCook:25min
Steel-cut oats differ from old-fashioned rolled oats in that, instead of being rolled into flat flakes, the whole toasted oat grain is simply cut into chunks. When cooked, steel-cut oats maintain a chewier texture, but nutritionally, the two types are nearly identical.
Whichever type of oats you choose, eating oatmeal will help you ward off cardiovascular disease, diabetes, hypertension, and obesity. This hearty recipe tastes like pumpkin pie in a bowl, perfect for a chilly fall morning. You can add berries or diced pears, if you like, for a bit of added sweetness.
