Chocolate Sunbutter Steel Cut Oats

Yum

These baked oats are a very loose take on a "Reeces" flavor. Chocolate and Sunbutter are added to oats, which are baked for a sweet breakfast that tastes a bit like dessert. Yay! Steet cut oats have 5 grams of protein per 1/4 cup servings, 4 grams of fiber, and are less processed than other types of oats - making these yummy oats a healthy breakfast.

Chocolate Sunbutter Steel Cut Oats


Ingredients:

1 tsp vegan margarine
1 1/2 cups steel cut oats

2 cups soy milk (or other non-dairy milk)
2 1/2 cups water
2 tsp vanilla
1/3 cup maple syrup
1/8 tsp salt
1/2 cup Sunbutter (or your favorite nut butter)
1/3 cup cocoa powder

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.  Spray a 2 quart baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.

Heat the margarine in a medium sized saucepan over medium heat, and then add the steel cut oats. Toast the oats for about 5 minutes, until they begin to smell a bit fragrant and toasty. Next add the soy milk, water, vanilla, maple syrup, salt, Sunbutter, and cocoa powder to the pan. Bring to a boil and cook for 10 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

Pour the oat mixture into the baking dish and cover with foil. Bake for 35 minutes, and let cool for a few minutes before serving. These keep well and are great leftover. You can make a big batch and enjoy throughout the week. Sprinkling some toasted sunflower seeds or vegan dark chocolate chips on top is a nice touch, too.

For 8 servings. Nutritional information from caloriecount.about.com.
