Steelcut Oats with Berries

   I love maple syrup and plain oatmeal for breakfast, it's easy and tasty so to satisfy that craving and help my dietary changes be more comfortable, steelcut oats and berries are my alt.
  A couple of things I think are important about this recipe, the fiber from the steelcut oats helps push things out while it's a slow carb so it doesn't spike my sugars, the berries not only satisfy my tastebuds with a sweet flavor but they also contain fiber and are a fruit that is low in sugar and both help me meet daily dietary requirements.
  I just follow the directions on the packaging for the oatmeal minus salt and add frozen organic berries at the end. Because steelcut oats take so much longer than quick or instant oats I make 2-4 servings at a time so it's more convenient.
  It's not the sweet that is normally associated with oatmeal so it takes getting used to but because I am balancing bacteria levels and avoiding a flare up of my HS so it will have to do! It is very satisfying and one of my favorite breakfasts!
