Need a little warming up on these cold winter mornings?

Yes, steel cut oats take more time to cook than old-fashioned oats, and even more time than quick-cooking oats. But…they are better for you and in my opinion, taste better too! They are a bit chewier than regular oats and when dressed up with spices, nuts, fruit and maple syrup, they make for a perfect winter breakfast!
