Time 55m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 cups water
1 cup steel-cut oats
1 apple - peeled, cored, and chopped
½ cup shredded carrot
½ cup raisins
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ teaspoon ground ginger
1 pinch salt
1 tablespoon butter
¾ cup chopped pecans
1 tablespoon brown sugar
½ cup plain yogurt

Steps:

  • Bring water to a boil in a heavy, large saucepan, and stir in the oats. Reduce heat to a simmer, and cook oats until they begin to thicken, about 10 minutes; mix in the apple, carrot, raisins, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Let the oats simmer until tender, about 20 more minutes.
  • While the oats are simmering, melt butter in a skillet over medium-low heat, and stir in the pecans. Toast the nuts until fragrant and lightly browned, 2 to 5 minutes, then sprinkle with brown sugar and stir until sugar has melted and coated the pecans.
  • Serve in bowls, each topped with about 2 tablespoons of the pecan mixture and a dollop of yogurt.
