How to Make Steel Cut Oatmeal

  1. Rinse 1 cup of steel-cut oats under cold water.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed oats, 3 cups of water, and a pinch of salt.
  3. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over high heat.
  4. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the oats are tender and creamy, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  5. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. This allows the oats to fully absorb the liquid and become extra creamy.
  6. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings (see suggestions below!).
