Oats of Steel

Steel cut oats are brilliant.  With only 150 calories, 3 grams of fibre and 4 grams of protein, it will take you far. There is the traditional Irish steel cut, or there is a quick cooking, ready-in-5-minutes variety.  Either, or, it will be a habit that will be hard to break.  Add some bananas, blueberries, or other fruit whilst it cooks, and top with a wee bit of agave.

I know I promised I wouldn't tell you to follow package instructions again, but the ratios of water to oats is different for the quick cooking and the traditional.  The traditional ratio is 4:1 water to oats.  Boil the water first, then sprinkle the oats over top and stir frequently.  Simmer and stir occasionally for 30 minutes.
