People tend to shy away from steel-cut oatmeal because it takes a long time to cook, I’m not going to tell you otherwise. It takes about 30-40 minutes of cooking time. But on weekends or on days when you need to be more than just fueled, spend some extra time to make a breakfast that nourishes and satisfies your body from the inside out. Eating 3/4 cup of oatmeal a day contains about 3 g soluble fiber and has been found to decrease LDL and total cholesterol levels.
