I’ve been off the steel-cut oats bandwagon for a while because I’ve been addicted to my little breakfast egg quesadillas. But this week I got a hankering for the almighty oats. I didn’t realize how I missed their chewy goodness until now! Anyway, these steel-cut oats are packed with warm spices, sweet raisins, crunchy almonds, and super creamy coconut milk for an absolutely warm and comforting bowl.

NOTE: As with all of my oats, I divide them into resealable containers and keep them in the refrigerator. Then, in the morning, all I have to do is grab one and microwave it for a minute or so and I have a super hearty breakfast ready to go!

  1. I added cardamom, turmeric to give it a beautiful golden color, and a bit of pepper to help with turmeric absorption. So delicious. A few drops of monk fruit, and with the raisins, I found it didn’t need any more sweetener. Thanks for the recipe!

  2. This made my house smell so good. I used 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats and 1.75 cups of water, per the box instructions. It took ten minutes of boiling. I added 1/2 tsp of cardamom but would only add 1/4 next time. Cranberries were fine instead of raisins and I also sprinkled coconut on top. :)

  3. This was one of the best recipies I’ve made from this site and trust me I’ve made alot absolutely amazing ! Thank you 💕

  4. Hi all,

    I’m a diabetic. Do you think this recipe could work with Splenda to help cut the sugar and carbs? Has anyone tried? Would love feedback before trying but will probably try soon anyway!
