Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Steel-cut oats
- 3 cups Water
- 1 cup Milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup or honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract (optional)
- 0.5 cup Fresh or dried fruit (e.g., berries, bananas, raisins)

- 1 tablespoon Butter or nut butter (optional)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, bring 3 cups of water to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.
Stir in the steel-cut oats and reduce the heat to medium-low. Allow the oats to simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes.
Add 1 cup of milk and the salt to the simmering oats. Stir well and continue to cook for another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
When the oatmeal reaches your desired consistency, stir in the maple syrup (or honey), ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract for added flavor.
Divide the oatmeal between two serving bowls.
Top each bowl with your choice of fresh or dried fruit, nuts or seeds, and an optional drizzle of butter or nut butter for added richness.
Serve warm and enjoy your customized steel-cut oatmeal.
