Serves: Serves 4
INGREDIENTS:
  • 1 cup steel cut oats
  • 4 cups unsweetened almond milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
  • 1 teaspoon dried ginger
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon allspice
  • Blackstrap molasses to taste
DIRECTIONS:
  1. Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add in the oats and toast, stirring regularly for 3-5 minutes, until they start to turn golden brown and become more fragrant. Add in the milk, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice, stir to combine and turn heat to high. Bring to a boil then reduce heat back down to medium and leave to simmer for 30 minutes, until thickened up and the oats are soft. Stir occasionally in the beginning then more frequently as the liquid reduces so that it doesn't burn. Turn the heat down to low for the last 5-7 minutes if it thickens up really quickly and starts to stick to the bottom too much. Serve with a drizzle of molasses and fruits and/or nuts of choice.
