What are Steel Cut Oats?
The most common oats I see around are always rolled oats, those flat oats that are generally likened to Quaker Oats. Unlike those, steel cut oats are like small, hard pellets, and take much longer to cook. They also keep a firmer texture instead of just becoming the characteristic mush that many people have come to expect from oatmeal.

prep time: 5 minutes | cook time: 25 minutes | total time: 30 minutes
Servings: 2-4
Ingredients:
- 1 Cup Steel Cut Oats
- 2 Cups Oat Milk or Almond Milk
- 1 Grapefruit
- 2 Stems of Rosemary

- Pinch of Salt
Serve With:
- Natural Peanut Butter
- Brown Sugar
- Maple Syrup
- Milk of Choice
- Blueberries
- Nuts
Instructions:
Finely chop your rosemary and zest around half your grapefruit.
In a small pot, combine your oats, oat milk, rosemary, grapefruit zest, and salt. Bring to a boil, then immediately cover and turn down to simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until oats are soft. Stir occasionally to prevent the oats sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Remove from heat and stir through your vanilla until well combined. Divide between your bowls, serve hot along with any of your favourite oatmeal toppings, and enjoy!

Eggs are one of the most versatile and common ingredients in the pantry, so why not spice up your breakfast routine by learning to poach an egg? This seemingly-intimidating process is actually incredibly simple, and will give you the poached egg of your dreams in under 15 minutes!
Ready in 30 minutes, this easy, bite-sized breakfast is a great way to give you energy all day with its spinach and sun dried tomato base. The crispy bacon perfectly compliments the runny egg yolk, and is only enhanced by the baked feta topping the whole thing. It’s a low effort, high reward breakfast that’s perfect for a weekend or weekday! And did we mention it’s only about $1 per serving?
Sweet potatoes are filled with complex carbs that really help jumpstart your energy! Whether vegetarian or not, this recipe has meat substitutes that have got you covered. And is any breakfast bake complete without some eggs? I think not! That extra protein will help keep you going all day, especially when you pair it with the avocado topping!
My favourite time to make this meal is the night before a big ski trip. When you’re getting up and leaving at 5 am to spend all day in the cold getting some exercise, the best thing is a fresh, hot bowl of oatmeal. It keeps you going all day and all you have to do is put it in a bowl to eat it!
