A cozy and elegant oatmeal bowl featuring steel-cut oats, fresh pomegranate seeds, and a honey drizzle, perfect for Valentine’s Day or any special morning.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup steel-cut oats (90 g)
  • 1 ½ cups water (360 ml)
  • ½ cup milk of choice (120 ml) – whole milk, almond, or oat milk
  • A pinch of salt
  • ½ cup pomegranate seeds (about 90 g)
  • 2 tablespoons raw, local honey
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons chopped nuts (walnuts or almonds, optional)

Instructions

  1. Toast the oats (optional but recommended): Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat and add the steel-cut oats. Stir frequently for 2-3 minutes until they smell nutty.
  2. Add water and salt: Pour in 1 ½ cups water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer gently, uncovered, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook for about 15-20 minutes until the oats start to soften but still have bite.
  3. Add milk, cinnamon, and vanilla: Stir in ½ cup milk of choice, ¼ teaspoon cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract. Continue simmering for another 5-7 minutes, stirring often, until the oats are creamy and tender.
  4. Prepare the honey drizzle: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons honey with a teaspoon of warm water to loosen it up if needed.
  5. Assemble your bowl: Spoon the oatmeal into a serving bowl. Scatter ½ cup fresh pomegranate seeds and optional chopped nuts over the top.
  6. Drizzle honey: Drizzle the honey mixture generously over the oatmeal and pomegranate.
  7. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

Toast the oats to enhance flavor and reduce cooking time. Stir gently and often to prevent sticking. Adjust liquid if oats become too thick by adding milk or water. Use fresh pomegranate seeds just before serving for best texture. Warm honey slightly if too thick for easy drizzling. For vegan version, use plant-based milk and maple syrup instead of honey.
