Just one more day until the 4th of July! Do you have plans for the day? Are you lucky enough to get extra days off for the holiday? I’m usually off on Wednesdays so technically I don’t get the holiday off. But I’m at least hoping to be able to relax and enjoy the sunshine while it lasts.

In the mean time, let’s talk about this blueberries and cream steel cut oatmeal.

I am such a fan of hearty breakfasts, but I don’t always get a chance to eat it because I’m always rushing out of the house. But what I love about these oats is that you can put them in a small mason jar and pack them to go.

In a medium sized pot, heat up the water until it comes to a boil. Add steel cut oats to the pot and allow it to cook for about 30 minutes. Make sure to stir every once in awhile to prevent the oats from sticking and burning at the bottom. Once the oats are cooked, remove the pot from heat and let it cool.

    What an epic photo! How is it that a bowl of oats can look soooo beautiful – you’ve got a real gift for decorating – and clearly – cooking! Thanks for sharing this lovely post

    I’m all about this! Am I the only one that eats this for dinner or dessert? Hahaha. Beautiful pictures! No plans for the 4th. Playing it by ear! Happy 4th of July!

    This looks delicious! I love homemade steel cut oats porridge with fruit. My husband doesn’t, so I rarely make it since it’s a bit of an effort. I tried to “like” this post, but am encountering difficulties. Not just liking you post, but someone elses’, too. I’ll have to figure out what’s wrong. I wonder if it has something to do with my Facebook set-up?

    This sounds yummy. My usual breakfast is Bircher muesli, so I’m quite happy to do oat prepping and soaking. This sounds like it would be a good alternative, would be good to try something different 🙂
