Kristen has a genius shortcut to make the steel-cut oats of her dreams—one that will deliver them in a casual seven minutes instead of 30, and with more color and life than she'd ever thought to stir into porridge before. GET THE RECIPE ►► https://f52.co/2X6XpJBAs Maria Speck writes in Simply Ancient Grains, “Pedestrian steel-cut oats don't have the color of my dreams. But what if they had a magnificent hue? That’s why one day I decided to go overboard with the raspberries and turn my everyday oatmeal into a pink sensation. Add a dollop of tangy Greek yogurt, and this warm breakfast will power everyone in your family through the morning. Even your kids might be fascinated enough by the bold color to eat a good amount of fruit without having to be prodded. (Even Kristen's suddenly very picky 1-year-old lit up for this.)
