How to Make Apple Cinnamon Steel Cut Oats

  1. Dice 1 medium apple into small pieces.
  2. In your rice cooker, combine: 1 cup steel-cut oats, 2 cups oat milk (or nut milk of choice), 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/4 cup chopped pecans (optional), 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or honey), and the diced apple.
  3. Stir gently to combine all ingredients.
  4. Select the porridge setting on your rice cooker (or equivalent setting). Cooking time may vary depending on your rice cooker; check the manufacturer's instructions if necessary.
  5. Once the cooking cycle is complete, let the oats sit for 5-10 minutes to absorb any excess liquid.
  6. Fluff with a fork before serving. Enjoy warm, optionally topped with extra cinnamon, nuts, or a drizzle of maple syrup.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
