No one does breakfast quite like my sister Marci.  In fact, I’ve specifically banned my kids from ever having any sleepovers at her house, because heaven forbid they find out there is a world beyond cold cereal.  But I would like to say Marci, next time this Peaches and Cream Steel Cut Oats with Cinnamon Maple Drizzle is on your menu – I’m packing my pillow and bunking up for the night, in hopes to be awoken with this incredible aroma.  The pictures just aren’t cutting it for me any more.  

Now let’s hear it from Marci!

Peaches & Cream Steel Cut Oats

If I were of royal status and could have a steaming hot breakfast ready for me everyday after a hard morning run (because being royal doesn’t mean you don’t have to work for that beach body), this is what it would look like: a tower of soft, eggy french toast, stuffed with warm, sweet peaches, a cascading waterfall of maple syrup, a fluffy cloud of vanilla whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon all served on a white platter etched in pure gold…do i really have to leave this moment to get to my point…one more second…okay, back to reality.

  1. I make oatmeal at least 4 times week for my husband and I. Used to make it in the microwave, then started in the Instant Pot. My husband LOVED how creamy this turned out. I’ve always soaked the oatmeal and the chia overnight along with my flavorings like diced candied ginger,apple pie spice,and a dried fruit like cherries, or crasins. I think the difference in creaminess was because of the 10 minute cook time. I was doing a 5 minute cook. Even though made a lot, I have enough for 2 more days,I’ll keep making of this way. Also looking forward to making the mason jar oatmeal. Thanks again

    1. Geri, I’m so glad you liked it! This is a favorite flavor at my home. I love the idea of the candied ginger! I’m gonna have to try that 🙂

    1. I’ve literally made every steel cut oats recipe on you blog, so it would be fantastic for you to try mine! Thanks Barbara!

    1. Yes, it’s in the recipe directions. I just combined cinnamon and real maple syrup and shook it up really good.
