LEMON CREAM STEEL CUT OATS
We’ve been making these Lemon Cream Steel Cut Oats for quite a few weeks now. We are obsessed with lemon and these definitely hit the spot. They aren’t too over the top of tartness, sweetness, or tanginess but the perfect combination of all three!
These oats are the perfect healthy breakfast, just pair with eggs or yogurt for some added protein. With the days starting to warm up and summer upon us, now is the perfect time to introduce some lemon into your diet. Unless you are like us and eat them year-round!

Delicious! I did need to add quite a bit more liquid in instant pot due to Burn message displayed (8 qt pot). This is a keeper for sure. The more lemon the better. Topped with shredded coconut and it’s absolutely amazing! New family favorite! 🍋

I love these! I make them in the crockpot but have found that even on LOW there is no way these can cook for 7-8 hours. It’s more like 4?
