1cupsteel cut oatsLook for certified gluten free if needed.
4cupswater or milk of choiceFor thicker results use 3 to 3 1/2 cups. 4 cups makes it extra creamy!
1cupfresh or frozen ripe peachesdiced
2tbspdate syrup or honeyI use Just Date Syrup.
Instructions
If using frozen peaches, let them thaw in a bowl in the fridge for at least one hour. Can also microwave a bowl of frozen peaches for 45 seconds to 1 minute if you need to thaw quickly.
Bring water (or milk of choice) to a boil in a medium saucepan.
Stir in oats. Reduce heat to medium low. Simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 15 to 20 minutes.
Once oats have finished cooking, remove pan from heat. Let oats sit for 5 minutes so they can continue to thicken.
Stir your diced peaches (should no longer be frozen) into your cooked steel cut oats. Scoop into bowls. Drizzle with date syrup or honey before serving. Add more if you like it extra sweet.
Notes
Nutrition information assumes you used 4 cups of water. If you use milk of any kind instead of water it will alter your nutrition info.This recipe makes 4 servings. If you're a big oatmeal lover like me you may only get 2 out of it. (My bowl of oatmeal is giant. I have no regrets.) Nutrition information assumes 4 servings so double the numbers if you, like me, can down a lot of oatmeal in one sitting.
