Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup steel-cut oats
- 3 cups water
- 1 cup milk
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon butter (optional, for serving)
- 2 tablespoons chopped nuts or fresh fruit (optional, for topping)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, bring the water and milk to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Be careful not to let the milk boil over.
Add the steel-cut oats and salt to the saucepan. Stir well to combine.
Reduce the heat to low and let the oats cook uncovered for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. The mixture will thicken as it cooks.
While the oats are cooking, prepare the maple cream. In a small saucepan, combine the heavy cream, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Heat over low heat, stirring continuously for 3-5 minutes until the mixture is warm and slightly thickened. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
Once the oatmeal has reached your desired texture, remove it from the heat and let it sit for a couple of minutes.
Spoon the oatmeal into bowls and top with a drizzle of maple cream. If desired, add a pat of butter and sprinkle with chopped nuts or fresh fruit.
Serve warm and enjoy your cozy, delicious breakfast!
