Pan fried oatmeal, guys. I’m pretty excited about this. Push aside that typical bowl-of-mush oatmeal and replace a beautifully presented pan-seared oatmeal.

How to Make It

The scenario starts basically the same as the bowl-of-mush (which, by the way, I also love). Cook steel cut oats and milk (and a couple other pantry staples) until they are thickened. Then pour it into a baking dish and let it cool in the fridge overnight. Once it is firm, you cut it into slices. This is where the magic happens. Heat a pan with some butter (of course!) and sear a slice of oatmeal until golden brown and crispy. Top with anything you want! I chose yogurt and fresh fruit, but I’m also looking forward to trying this with maple syrup, fruit preserves, or milk.

Great for Meal Prep

It’s also a great way to get a head-start on breakfasts for the week. Pop a pan of this oatmeal in the fridge and then in the morning all you have to do is cut a slice and sear it up, top and serve. The combination of oats and milk (and yogurt if you go that route!) will keep you full all morning long. It’s an easy and delicious way to get your day off to a great start.
