Instructions
1. Prepare the Oats
In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of steel-cut oats, 2 cups of water, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
2. Simmer the Oats
Reduce the heat to low and let the oats simmer for about PT20M (20 minutes), stirring occasionally until they are soft and have absorbed most of the water.
3. Add Milk and Flavorings
Stir in 1/2 cup of milk, 1 tablespoon of vegan butter, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, 1 tablespoon of honey, and 1 tablespoon of maple syrup. Continue to cook for an additional PT5M (5 minutes), stirring frequently.
4. Finish the Oats
Remove the oats from the heat and stir in 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a pinch of your favorite spices like cardamom or nutmeg.
5. Prepare the Kale and Spinach
In a separate pan, lightly sauté 1 cup of spinach and 1 cup of finely chopped kale until they are wilted, about PT5M (5 minutes).
6. Assemble the Bowl
Divide the oats into serving bowls. Top each bowl with 2 tablespoons of your preferred nut butter, 1/2 cup of mixed fresh fruit, 1/4 cup of mixed nuts, 2 tablespoons of assorted seeds, 1/4 cup of dried fruit, the sautéed spinach, and kale.
7. Add the Egg
Gently place a poached egg and a soft boiled egg on top of each prepared bowl for added protein and richness.
