Ingredients
1 cup steel-cut oats
2 tablespoons chia seeds
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of salt
3 1/2 cups milk of choice (almond, oat, or dairy)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups frozen raspberries
Optional toppings: nut butter, Greek yogurt, seeds, nuts, fresh fruit, maple syrup, or honey
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, combine steel-cut oats, chia seeds, cinnamon, and salt. Stir to mix evenly.
- Add milk and vanilla extract. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce heat to low, stir in frozen raspberries, and cook until the liquid is absorbed and oats are tender, stirring often.
- Regular steel-cut oats: about 15 minutes
- Quick-cooking steel-cut oats: about 7 minutes
- Add more milk if needed to adjust consistency.
- Serve hot with toppings of choice such as nut butter, seeds, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
Notes
- Use certified gluten-free oats if needed.
- No need to thaw raspberries—they’ll break down as they cook.
- For extra creaminess, replace some of the milk with coconut milk.
- Sweeten to taste with honey or maple syrup when serving.
- Works well as a make-ahead breakfast—just reheat with extra milk.
