Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Steel-cut oats
- 4 cups Water
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Milk (optional, for creaminess)
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar or honey (optional, for topping)
- 1 teaspoon Butter (optional, for topping)
- 0.5 cups Fresh fruit or nuts (optional, for topping)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over high heat.
Stir in the steel-cut oats and reduce the heat to low to maintain a gentle simmer.
Add the salt and stir to combine.
Cook the oats uncovered, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, for about 25-30 minutes or until the oats are tender and the mixture has thickened to your desired consistency.
If you prefer creamier oatmeal, stir in the milk during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
Remove the pot from heat and let it sit for a couple of minutes to thicken further.
Serve the oatmeal hot, topped with brown sugar or honey, a pat of butter, and any additional toppings like fresh fruit or nuts.
Enjoy your warm, comforting bowl of Irish Steel Cut Oatmeal!
