Over-night Steel Cut Oats

Here is how to enjoy Steel Cut Oatmeal any day of the week without the usual 20-30 minute cook time.  It is creamy and so satisfying - not to mention so good for you! I like traditional oatmeal - but I LOVE Steel Cut Oatmeal - and so does my family! 

3 cups Water

1 cup Steel Cut Oats (Gluten Free)

Some great brands are Udi's, Bob's Red Mill, Arrowhead Mills and McCain's.

1 cup Whole Milk

Toppings:

Turbinado Sugar (Raw Sugar) or Brown Sugar

Any type of nuts or seeds

Cinnamon

Fresh or Dried Fruit

The night before:

Combine water and oats with a pinch of salt.  Stir and bring to a boil.

Cover and turn off the heat.

Leave on your stove top over night.

In the morning:

Pour in the milk.  Stir and heat over medium/low.  Bring to a low boil and simmer for 5 minutes or until the oats thicken to the desired consistency.  The oats will thicken as they cool, so usually 5 minutes is about right.

Enjoy with your favorite toppings!
