Steel-cut oats are a hearty healthy breakfast. If you have never had them, they have a chewy consistency.
They're chewier than traditional rolled oats, quick oats, and instant oats and have a nutty flavor. They take a bit longer than some vegan breakfasts but are totally worth it.
I like to add peanut butter for the taste and added protein, and chocolate chips for some sweetness. Yum!
Another great way to make steel cut oats is my Maple Cinnamon Steel Cut Oats recipe.
Another sweet easy breakfast is my Chocolate Quinoa Bowl.

❤️ Why You'll Love It
- It is sweet, rich, and creamy.
- It is a healthy and filling breakfast with simple ingredients.
- It's an easy recipe that's made in about 25 minutes.
🧾 Ingredients
- Almond milk: I used unsweetened almond milk, but you could use soy, milk, oat milk, cashew milk, or other dairy-free milk.
- Steel cut oats: Add a chewy texture. Steel cut oats are basically whole oat groats that have been cut into 2 or 3 pieces. I used certified gluten-free steel cut oats from Bob's Red Mill. You could also use old-fashioned oats or another type of oats. Check the cooking time on the package. Other oats don't take as much time to cook.
- Creamy peanut butter: I used all-natural peanut butter. You could also use shelf-stable peanut butter or another nut butter if you are not a peanut butter fan.
- Pure maple syrup: Adds sweetness. You could also use brown sugar, agave syrup, or dates.
- Salt: Enhances sweetness. I like to use sea salt.
- Chocolate chips: I used dark chocolate chips. You could also use dark chocolate baking chunks or cacao nibs.

👩🏻🍳 Recipe FAQs
For this peanut butter steel cut oatmeal recipe I did not soak the oats first, but you definitely could. Soaking them will not only make them softer and creamier, but they'll take less time to cook.
Steel cut oats are one of the least processed forms of oats. They have a chewier consistency than other forms of oats.
These steel cut oats will last up to 5 days in an airtight container.
You could definitely soak the oats overnight instead of cooking them. Add the almond milk and steel cut oats to two mason jars. Let sit overnight and add the rest of the ingredients the next day.
