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.
