Folks’ hectic morning routines often don’t allow for a significant amount of breakfast preparation time, like the 45 minutes it takes to cook steel cut oats. But that doesn’t mean you can’t have a healthy, hearty breakfast – it just takes some planning!
Cook the oats the night before and leave it in the pan on the stove. In the morning, the only steps remaining are to reheat the oats and apply the garnish!
