🍎 Weekend Recipe: Apple-Walnut Steel-Cut Oats
A cozy fall breakfast with a few ingredients that support your hormones during midlife. 💜
Why this bowl? Steel-cut oats are minimally processed and packed with fiber.
Ground flaxseed provides lignans—naturally occurring phytoestrogens—while walnuts add healthy fats, including plant-based omega-3s. Apples bring even more fiber, and cinnamon adds plenty of flavor without needing lots of added sugar.
And perhaps the best weekend benefit? It’s warm, delicious and wonderfully simple - something the entire family will enjoy!
Apple-Walnut Steel-Cut Oats
🥣 ½ cup steel-cut oats
💧 1½ cups water or unsweetened milk of choice
🍎 1 apple, diced
🌱 1 Tbsp ground flaxseed
🤎 2 Tbsp chopped walnuts
✨ ½ tsp cinnamon
🧂 Pinch of salt
🍯 Optional drizzle of maple syrup or honey
Cook the steel-cut oats according to package directions until tender and creamy. Stir in the ground flaxseed and cinnamon, then top with diced apple and walnuts. Add a little maple syrup or honey if you prefer more sweetness.
Simple ingredients. A cozy breakfast. And a pretty delicious way to start your weekend. 🍎💜
