I’m about ready to start experimenting with steel cut oats in the slow cooker, and I have an awesome earl grey from TeaGschwender that I want to try this out with… I remembered seeing it this brilliant idea somewhere, and it was from you! Thanks!

@ J – I love steel cut oats, and that recipe sounds amazing! I’ve never done cocoa in my oats, but I’ll definitely be giving it a try! =D

My favorite oatmeal recipe involves steel cutoats. Heat 2/3rds cup water + 1/3rd cup undiluted coconut milk; add 1 tbsp of cocoa powder. Stir at boiling until dissolved. Add 1/4th cup steel oats; boil for five minutes. Stir constantly. Reduce heat to medium-low, and cook the remaining water out. This isn’t a liquid oatmeal; it’s more solid. Serve with fresh fruit, like strawberries.

@ Katie – I’m so glad you liked the recipe. =) And yup, the cup was a gift but I’m almost certain it’s from Anthropology.

This is such an awesome idea! I tried it the other day, and now i really excited to try it with chai :) I noticed your lovely tea cup in the pictures, i have one with a K on it. By any chance did you buy it at anthropology?

@ Chris – I don’t make my own milks yet, but that is definitely on my list of projects to try. I know it’s relatively easy and I know how it’s done, I just need to get around to *doing* it, ha! Always something that takes priority, right? Never enough hours in the day . . .

I haven’t been to Remedy Teas but I go to Seattle a few times a year – I’ll check it out next time I’m there. Thanks!

@ Susan – Mmm, that sounds great (I’m really going to have to try the Chai, and soon). And I love fresh fruit in my oatmeal. =)

I made this for breakfast, with vanilla chai loose leaf instead of earl grey. This was so tasty!
It tasted especially yummy with apple slices added in.

This is a great idea! Chai as a medium seems to be quite common here, but you’re right that other teas should be experimented with.

Like Karmalily, I love adding vanilla to my oats. I’m attempting a no sugar diet, so my oats require lots of vanilla (pure bean powder), homemade hazelnut milk (again, with vanilla!), and lots of cinnamon, too. Sayward, do you make your own milk?

I also must say that another morning favorite of mine–when I want a raw breakfast–is chia pudding, which is just chia seeds, hazelnut milk, and spices. Love it. Fabulous texture.

When/if you travel to Seattle, have you been to Remedy Teas on Capitol Hill? http://remedyteas.com/

@ Homegrown Texan – Lapsang would be interesting, the smokiness could be great if it weren’t too overpowering. Chai sounds AMAZING. I’ll probably need to try that . . . soon.

@ J – Oatmeal is breakfast perfection, for all the reasons you stated. Hope you like the recipe!

@ karmalily – Vanilla – genius! And so fast, wow. Glad you liked it!

@ Thursday’s Child – Aw thank you, and welcome!

@ Christa – Yeah I’m surprised I hadn’t seen it before. It’s such a perfect union. =)
