Ingredients

• 1 cup steel cut oats
• 3 cups water
• 1 cup milk (optional, for creaminess)
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar or honey (optional, for sweetness)
• 1 teaspoon butter (optional, for richness)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, bring 3 cups of water to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Stir in 1 cup of steel cut oats, and reduce the heat to low to maintain a gentle simmer.

Step 3

Add 0.25 teaspoon of salt and stir to combine.

Step 4

Let the oats simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes if you prefer a chewier texture or 30 minutes for creamier oats.

Step 5

If you would like creamier porridge, stir in 1 cup of milk in the final 10 minutes of cooking.

Step 6

Once the oats reach your desired consistency, remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit for a minute to thicken further.

Step 7

Stir in 2 tablespoons of brown sugar or honey and 1 teaspoon of butter (if desired) for added sweetness and richness.

Step 8

Serve hot in bowls and customize with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, nuts, seeds, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
