# Expert Advice:
01 -
- It's the kind of breakfast that actually keeps you satisfied until lunch, none of that mid-morning hunger that makes you reach for snacks
- You can prep it in under twenty minutes, making it perfect for those mornings when you want something special but don't have much time
- Every spoonful tastes like comfort, the way food should when you're still waking up
02 -
- Don't skip the toasting step—it sounds unnecessary until you taste how it transforms the entire bowl from flat to full of depth
- Steel-cut oats take longer than you think, and that's the whole point. Rushing them defeats their purpose entirely
03 -
- Make your broth warm before adding it to the toasted oats—cold broth will cool everything down and extend cooking time unnecessarily
- The magic happens in those last few minutes when everything is finished cooking and the residual heat brings everything together into a unified, cohesive bowl
