Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup steel-cut oats
- 4 cups water
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cup milk or cream
- 2 tablespoons honey or brown sugar
- fresh fruits or nuts (optional)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Add the steel-cut oats to the boiling water and stir to prevent clumping.
Reduce the heat to low and let the oats simmer. Stir occasionally to ensure they do not stick to the bottom of the pan.
After 20 minutes of simmering, add 1/4 teaspoon of salt and stir well.
Continue to cook the oats for an additional 10 minutes, or until they reach your desired consistency. Stir occasionally for creamier results.
Once cooked, remove the oatmeal from the heat and let it sit for about 2 minutes to thicken slightly.
Serve the oatmeal warm in bowls. Add a splash of milk or cream for richness and sweeten with honey or brown sugar according to taste.
Top with fresh fruits, nuts, or other desired toppings for added texture and flavor.
