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
- 0 fresh fruits or nuts (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Add the steel-cut oats to the boiling water and stir to prevent clumping.
Step 3
Reduce the heat to low and let the oats simmer. Stir occasionally to ensure they do not stick to the bottom of the pan.
Step 4
After 20 minutes of simmering, add 1/4 teaspoon of salt and stir well.
Step 5
Continue to cook the oats for an additional 10 minutes, or until they reach your desired consistency. Stir occasionally for creamier results.
Step 6
Once cooked, remove the oatmeal from the heat and let it sit for about 2 minutes to thicken slightly.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Top with fresh fruits, nuts, or other desired toppings for added texture and flavor.
