Time 7m

Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon salted butter (coconut oil for vegan)
2 cups Old Fashioned rolled oats (do not use instant oats or steel cut oats)
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup water
1 cup milk, plus more for serving (non-dairy milk for vegan)
4 cups water
2 cups milk
1 1/2 cups steel cut oats
Scant 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the oats and toast for about 2 to 3 minutes, stirring often, until fragrant. Add the salt and cinnamon. Turn the heat to low and carefully pour in the water or milk, stirring. Cover and cook for 5 minutes until tender, then remove from the heat. Serve immediately for a chunky texture, or stir in another 1/2 cup milk for a creamier body. The texture is intentionally chewy (not gloppy or soggy!). Top with desired toppings and serve. Store refrigerated for up to 2 week.
  • Bring water and milk to a boil. Watch to make sure that it does not boil over. Once just boiling, add the steel cut oats, salt and cinnamon and stir. Bring to a simmer. Simmer 20 to 25 minutes until the oats are creamy and tender. Serve immediately with desired toppings. Stores refrigerated up to 1 week: it will become very thick, so stir in some milk or water when reheating.
