The elevator pitch for the recipe is a very good one: With one little gear swap, you can also make a faster, creamier bowl of oatmeal, and depart no cussed pot soaking within the sink.
This was how gifted meals stylist, creator, and TV star Samantha Seneviratne hooked me at a Genius video shoot years in the past. She’d picked up the trick in a check kitchen and actually put it to make use of feeding her toddler son Artie. Prepared for it? Seize a nonstick skillet for cozy oats that cook dinner down faster and creamier than in a deep pot (and clear up means simpler).
However, not less than in my household, there’s much more to Sam’s genius than that. That is the breakfast my three-year-old asks for as she’s going to sleep. The one which taught her find out how to measure as we made it collectively morning after morning; the one with few substances to spill and slosh.
It’s the recipe we at all times double or triple now, as a result of all of us need extra and the fridge and freezer welcome it. It’s the one which satisfied me that Cocoa Puffs at all times had it proper: Chocolate brings pleasure and ballast to bleary mornings. Solely now, it’s powered by almond butter and sweetened with solely as a lot maple as you want.
That is the recipe I squirreled away first for the Merely Genius cookbook, and the one I (and different mother and father) take advantage of. For the e-book, Sam additionally shared three extra riffs: raspberry-cardamom, banana-cacao nib, and nutty multigrain—with leftover grains like quinoa or farro swirled in.
However the reality is, you possibly can take Sam’s ratio and method to any oatmeal you possibly can dream up—time and again, no pots within the sink to carry you again.
