You guys! Did you know you can make steel-cut oatmeal in your electric pressure cooker in a mug? This means you can 1) make oatmeal for just one or two people, 2) flavor each individually however you like, and 3) it’s so easy and there’s basically no clean-up. Magical.
Just do this:
Note: Make sure your mug is heat-proof and ceramic. Glass will work too, but it must be tempered.
Breakfast, amirite? I adapted a blueberry bar recipe for a site I sometimes write for, and since the article never went up I’ll share this recipe with you. Because it’s too good not to share.
These bars are basically a riff on blueberry oatmeal. They’re hearty and full of whole grains and fresh blueberry goodness, but they also travel well and feel more like a treat than a bowl of goopy oats. Don’t let the list of ingredients intimidate you: you’ll have most of it on hand anyway, and it’s all good stuff that’s worth having around. Make a pan of these, cut them up, and take them on the go all week long.
Pro tip: They’re super easy to make vegan (as noted in the recipe). And if you’re not vegan and are enjoying them at home, top them with a big dollop of Greek yogurt.
