Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup steel-cut oats
- 3 cups water
- 1 cup milk (optional, for creamier texture)
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar (optional, for sweetness)
- 0.25 teaspoon cinnamon (optional, for flavor)
- 1 teaspoon butter (optional, for richness)
- to taste toppings (e.g., berries, nuts, honey, optional)
Instructions
Bring 3 cups of water to a boil in a medium-sized saucepan over high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and stir in the steel-cut oats and salt.
Allow the oats to simmer gently, stirring occasionally, to prevent sticking. Cook for about 20-25 minutes, or until the oats reach your desired level of tenderness.
If a creamier texture is preferred, stir in 1 cup of milk during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in brown sugar, cinnamon, and butter, if using.
Portion the cooked oats into serving bowls and add your choice of toppings, such as fresh berries, chopped nuts, or a drizzle of honey.
Serve warm and enjoy your hearty Irish Pin Oats!
