This maple-pecan porridge is made with steel cut oats and is refined sugar free. It is a filling breakfast that tastes like a treat.

Ingredients

4 1/4 cups water
1 cup steel cut oats
1/4 cup raisins
1 apple (peeled and chopped)
Cinnamon
Pure maple syrup
Pecans

Instructions

In a saucepan, bring water to a boil*.
Add the steel cut oats and reduce heat to medium.
Stir in the raisins.
Add the chopped apple and stir again.
Cook for 25 minutes (or 10 -12 minutes if using the tip below*) uncovered or until it is thickened.
Sprinkle with cinnamon, drizzle with maple syrup and add pecans for the final touch. Enjoy. (***Tip: Put the steel cut oats & water in the saucepan the night before you plan to cook it. In the morning bring it to a boil, reduce to medium heat and then start with step 3 - the oats will be softened and will cook in half the time!***)
