Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 cup steel cut oats
3 cups boiling water
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup whole milk
1/2 cup low-fat buttermilk or 1/2 cup plain yogurt
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, melt the butter and add the oats. Stir for 2 minutes to toast.
  • Add the boiling water and reduce heat to a simmer. Keep at a low simmer for 25 minutes, without stirring.
  • Alternately, after adding the boiling water,cover the saucepan and remove from the heat. Allow to sit overnight on the counter. In the morning, proceed as directed below.
  • Combine the milk and the buttermilk (or yogurt) with the oatmeal. Stir gently to combine and cook for an additional 10 minutes.
  • Spoon into a serving bowl and top with additional milk or buttermilk, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
  • Feel free to garnish or sweeten as desired: chunky applesauce or fruit conserves are great, as is maple syrup, or add dried fruit to the oats and soak both overnight - sweetens the oats ever so slightly.

Tips:

  • Use equal parts oats and liquid. This will result in a creamy, porridge-like consistency.
  • Add a pinch of salt to the water. This will help to enhance the flavor of the oats.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot. This will help to prevent the oats from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  • Bring the oats to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer. This will help to prevent the oats from boiling over.
  • Stir the oats occasionally. This will help to prevent them from sticking together.
  • Cook the oats for 20-30 minutes, or until they are tender. The cooking time will vary depending on the type of oats you are using.
  • Add your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include brown sugar, maple syrup, cinnamon, butter, and fruit.

Conclusion:

Steel-cut oats are a healthy and delicious breakfast option that can be easily customized to your liking. With a little practice, you can make perfect steel-cut oats every time.
