How to Make Steel Cut Oats With Ground Flax Seed

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 4 cups of water, 1 cup fat-free milk, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  2. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently, until just before boiling.
  3. Add 1 cup of steel-cut oats, stir well, cover, and reduce heat to low.
  4. Stir every 5 minutes until the liquid is absorbed and oats are tender, about 20-25 minutes.
  5. Gradually whisk in 2 tablespoons of ground flaxseed, stirring constantly to prevent clumping.
  6. Remove from heat and let sit, covered, for 5 minutes before serving. Reheat individual portions in the microwave as needed.
