How to Make Stovetop Steel Cut Oats

  1. In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil.
  2. Add 1 cup of steel-cut oats and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Stir well to combine.
  3. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  4. After 30 minutes, stir in 1 cup of milk (or omit for a thinner consistency) and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (optional).
  5. Continue to cook for another 5-10 minutes, or until the oats reach your desired creaminess and consistency, stirring frequently.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon and 1/4 cup of raisins (or your preferred toppings).
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy your warm, creamy bowl of steel-cut oats! This recipe yields 4-6 servings.
  8. For meal prepping: allow oats to cool completely before portioning into airtight containers. Reheat individual servings in the microwave with a splash of milk for 1-2 minutes.
