I made this Skinny Girl Steel Cut Oats, this past Sunday night and I must say, it made me excited for Monday morning! I have all 8am classes this semester. I know, what was I thinking... But with a healthy, filling, delicious morning meal like this it makes going to class a breeze. I bought steel cut oats because they are less processed and packed with protein that helps you stay full longer. This being my first time trying steel cut oats, I was a little nervous! Cooking to me is like an experiment and I hoped this little experiment would have a good turn out. And it did! This recipe is easy, healthy, and delicious! A bonus is that you can make your skinny girl steel cuts your own, and this recipe makes more than enough so you can freeze & reheat for a quick meal when you run out the door!
What you need:
1C Steel Cut Oats I use Bob's Red Mill
11/2C Water
1C Unsweetened Almond Milk
2TBS Brown Sugar
2TBS Fleischmann's Original Butter
1/4 Vanilla
1 Apple Peeled, Cored, and Diced
Ground Cinnamon (Sprinkled On Top Optional)
Stevia (Optional)
Serving Size: 4. Calories: 230 Per Serving
Place all of these ingredients in a slow cooker on low, except for the ground cinnamon. Once all of your ingredients are in sprinkle a little ground cinnamon on top. Let it cook for 7 hours. I added Stevia the next morning to sweeten it up! And a banana. (I have a sweet tooth!)
Variations:
Organic Stevia is a great way to sweeten things up without the calories. Or try these variations:
Maple Syrup
Cinnamon Sugar
Add almonds, or any type of nuts
Add extra fruit on top
Mix in some cocoa powder for a chocolate-y taste!
Peanut Butter- High in fat but a way to add extra protein (try an organic, reduced sugar/ fat kind)
