Oatmeal is a great way to start the day thanks to its fiber content (which will fill you up until lunchtime) and versatility. Steel cut oats are beloved for their texture, nutty flavor, and nutrition, but they take some time along with patient stirring to prepare.
In comes overnight steel cut oatmeal. With just six minutes of cooking time and a few short minutes of stirring, they’re an ideal breakfast for busy mornings. Quickly toast the oats in butter, add hot water, and cover. The steel cut oats will slowly soak up all of the water overnight while you sleep. All you have to do in the morning is add milk and sugar, then heat the mixture before serving.
We suggest topping this recipe with yogurt, fresh grapefruit, a drizzle of honey, and a sprinkle of nuts, but you can top your oatmeal with whatever ingredients you like. If you’re feeding a crowd or planning ahead, double the recipe and cook it in a big, heavy pot.
