The comforting breakfast is worth the time it takes to prepare when you’re not rushing out the door. It’s filling, satisfying, and perfect for fall. Irish oats, also known as steel-cut oats or coarse oatmeal, are larger than regular old-fashioned oats because they’re cut into pieces instead of being rolled. This means steel-cut oats are a bit crunchier and have more texture, and they also have a nuttier flavor than rolled oats. Because these oats are thicker, they also take longer to cook, up to 30 minutes. Paired with sweet, tender roasted apples and raisins re-plumped with the oatmeal, this breakfast is worth waking up for.
