29th December 2012

Zosia from Toronto, ON

Lightly sweetened, subtly spiced – loved the cardamom – with the delicate scent and flavour of vanilla. A wholesome and delicious breakfast of creamy steel cut oats straight from the slowcooker to the serving bowl.

It took just minutes to toss the ingredients together the night before…..oats, water, a little sugar, spices, ½ vanilla pod…..The trick of lightly oiling the interior of the cooking vessel meant no sticking in the morning. The cereal is ready to serve after the vanilla caviar (seeds) is scraped from the pod - much easier to do after the pod has been steeped - and stirred in. I did find that it needed a little extra water to improve the consistency, and a pinch of salt for flavour.

I enjoyed it with a little milk and a sprinkling of brown sugar.

Should be 3 1/2 stars.
