Those cook up super fast since they’re broken down more in processing. Remember, we want to stay as close to the whole food as possible! Ahem, steel-cut oats. Oats are a great thing to buy in bulk. You should also buy some cardamom in bulk. It’s one of those spices that I hardly ever use, but I knew I wanted it for this recipe. I put maybe a teaspoon in a little baggie at the Whole Foods bulk spice bins and it was literally free. Like, it didn’t weight enough to cost anything. Allllll the free cardamom. Score. Now I know it probably seems kind of weird to put something in the oven for forty minutes when it’s only for one person, but I think we all deserve a little personal treat once in a while, dontcha think? You could certainly double or quadruple this recipe and bake in in the appropriate pan to serve more people. I also think it would work super well in the crockpot if you quadrupled the recipe! Now how fab would THAT be to wake up to? Speaking of waking up, do you ever jolt awake from those awkward twitches at night? It seems that everyone has come down with a bad case of awkward twitches lately. Sometimes you’re falling off a bike. Sometimes you’re swan-diving off a cliff. They’re the worst. SO embarrassing. And obviously you always come down with the worst case of awkward sleeping twitches when you’re not sleeping solo. Like sometimes your boyfriend is dreaming about God knows what and accidentally socks you in the face with his awkward twitch. I didn’t have the pleasure of experiencing that reality myself, but a dear friend of mine did. Poor thing. Her mortified boyfriend, I mean. Awkward twitches are nothing some fall-spiced pear oatmeal can’t fix. Print
