Ingredients:

  • 3 cups (710ml) water
  • ½ teaspoon (3g) kosher salt
  • 1 cup (180g) steel cut oats
  • Optional Toppings: Brown sugar, maple syrup, fresh fruit (berries, bananas, apples), nuts (walnuts, pecans, almonds), seeds (chia, flax), milk or cream

Instructions:

  1. In a medium saucepan, bring the water and salt to a rolling boil over high heat.
  2. Stir in the steel cut oats.
  3. Immediately reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the oats are tender and most of the water has been absorbed. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  4. The oats should be tender but still retain a slight chewiness. If they are too thick, add a splash more water and stir.
  5. Ladle the cooked steel cut oats into bowls and top with your desired toppings.
