Breakfast
Good Morning Groats
8 hrs (slow cooker) or 15 min (pressure cooker)Serves 4
Nothing is better than waking up to a hot, delicious breakfast that is already cooked. Start these groats in the evening, and that's exactly what you'll have when you wake up on a cold morning! Groats have a delightful chewy texture, are extremely high in fiber, and also high in zinc (great for cold season), bioavailable iron, selenium, and vitamin E.
Ingredients
- 2 cups groats
- 6 cups liquid for pressure cooker (or 6.5 cups for slow cooker) — water, or a mix of water and coconut water, coconut milk, apple juice, green tea, or just about any liquid you like
- ADD-INS (whatever is in season!): chopped apples, raisins, almonds, peaches, bananas, coconut flakes, dried or fresh cranberries, vanilla, cinnamon, berries, walnuts, hemp seeds, goji berries, chia seeds
Instructions
- 1PRESSURE COOKER: Put two cups of groats with 6 cups of liquid into your pressure cooker. Allow to come to medium pressure and cook for 15 minutes. Add any add-ins you like and serve!
- 2SLOW COOKER: For easy cleanup, lightly grease the slow cooker with coconut oil. Add 6.5 cups of liquid to two cups of groats. Put on low heat and cook for 8 hours. Stir, add any add-ins you like, and serve!
Jennifer's tip
Though oats do not contain gluten, they are frequently processed in the same factory and can be contaminated. If you are sensitive to gluten, choose groats that say 'gluten-free.' The slow cooker method is like the universe making you breakfast in bed.
