How to Make Oatmeal (Taste Better)
Description
The recipe instructs combining steel cut oats, water, and kosher salt in a pot and bringing it to a boil, then reducing to a simmer while stirring often for about 20 minutes until oats soften but remain chewy. The result is a creamy, textured oatmeal base without added sugar or dairy by default.
The oatmeal can be served with optional toppings according to preference, such as fresh or dried fruit, sweeteners like honey or syrup, milk or cream, or seeds to add texture and flavor.
Note that if using rolled oats instead of steel cut, the water ratio and cooking time will vary significantly, typically shorter cooking times and different water amounts depending on oat type and brand.
Ingredients
- 3 cups water
- ¼ tsp salt Crystal Kosher
- ½ cup steel cut oats
Instructions
- Put the salt, oats and water in a small pot, and bring to a boil. Simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring often.
- Pour into bowls.
- Serve as desired, with added fruit, honey, syrup, milk, cream, seeds, sugar, etc.
Notes
- Adjust water amount and cooking time if using rolled oats, as they cook faster and require less water than steel cut oats.
- Stir often during cooking to prevent oats from sticking and burning on the pot bottom.
