Ingredients
Stovetop Option
- 3 cups water
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup steel cut oats
Microwave Option
- ¾ cup water
- 1 pinch of salt
- ¼ cup steel cut oats
Instructions
Stovetop
- Boil: In a large saucepan, bring the water and salt to a boil.
- Cook: Once boiling, stir in the steel-cut oats and reduce the heat to just over low. Cook uncovered for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally until the oats are tender and have absorbed most of the water.
- Serve: Remove the saucepan from heat and let it stand for a couple of minutes to thicken. Serve the oats with your favorite toppings like fresh fruits, nuts, sweeteners, or spices.
Microwave
- Stir: In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine ¼-cup of steel-cut oats with ¾ cup of water and a pinch of salt. This makes 1 serving, which is best when using the microwave. Make sure the bowl is big enough to allow the oat mixture to expand without overflowing (it will bubble vigorously at the beginning).
- Cook: Microwave on high for 5 minutes. Stir the oats and then microwave for another 5 minutes. Carefully remove the bowl from the microwave (it will be hot), and stir the oats.
- Serve: Let the oats sit for a couple of minutes to thicken to your preferred consistency. Serve with your favorite toppings!
