Steel Cut Oats for Breakfast

I came across this article in Dr. Andrew Weil's daily blog. He recommends using steel cut oats instead of rolled oats so I thought I'd give them a try. I found these directions helpful.

Steel cut oats are the inner part of the oat kernel. They are processed less than rolled oats so they require a longer cooking time. The result is a nuttier, chewier oatmeal, with a lower glycemic index than rolled oats.

It's definitely worth the extra cooking time in my opinion. I topped mine off with blueberries and strawberries.
