Irish Oatmeal Brulee

Just one bowl of this Irish Oatmeal Brulee with cranberries, golden raisins and toasted pecans is sure to help you jumpstart your day. This recipe is perfect to serve to your overnight holiday guests or anytime you want a hot and hearty breakfast. Steel cut oatmeal takes a bit longer than traditional oatmeal to make, but trust me, it is worth the wait! 🙂

If you have never had steel cut oats, you are missing out. The distinctive hearty, chewy texture of steel cut oatmeal makes it one of my favorites.

One of my favorite things about this recipe is that you can prepare it and refrigerate the leftovers to eat during the busy work week. The prepared oatmeal can be refrigerated for up to 1 week, so you can have steel cut oats even on your busiest mornings. Just warm in the microwave with a splash of milk, transfer to a ramekin, broil and enjoy!
