1 tablespoon butter
1 cup steel cut oats
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups hot water
1 cup milk , or non-dairy milk
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 cup plain yogurt, optional
1 large grapefruit, peeled and segmented, optional
1 tablespoon honey, optional
1 to 2 tablespoons shelled pistachios, optional
Steps to Make It
-
Gather the ingredients.
-
Place a 2-quart saucepan over medium heat, then add the butter and cook, occasionally swirling the pan, until melted.
-
Add the steel cut oats and salt, then cook, stirring, for about 1 minute or until the oats smell toasty.
-
Add the hot water and turn off the heat. Stir, making sure all of the oats are submerged, and cover tightly with a lid. Let sit on the stove (with the heat turned off) overnight, or at least 8 hours and as long as 12 hours.
-
After soaking, remove the lid from and heat the saucepan over medium. Add the milk and brown sugar, and cook, stirring, until the the mixture begins to simmer. Reduce the heat to medium-low to keep it at a simmer and cook, stirring, for about 5 minutes, or until the desired consistency is reached.
-
Scoop the oats into bowls and serve topped with a scoop of yogurt, grapefruit segments, a drizzle of honey, and a sprinkle of pistachios, if desired. Throw in your favorite toppings for your ideal bowl and enjoy!
How to Store
- Leftover steel cut oats should be stored in an airtight container in the fridge and will keep for up to 3 days.
- Enjoy cold or reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop, adding water and/or milk to reach the desired consistency.
- Cooked oatmeal can also be frozen. Cool and add to an airtight container and freeze for up to 3 months, defrosting in the fridge before reheating or consuming.
