Ingredients
- 4 cups water
- 1 cup steel cut oats
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Bring the water to a boil in a medium or large saucepan (big enough to accommodate about 4 cups of cooked oatmeal with a bit of room to spare).
- When it reaches a rolling boil, stir in the oats and salt. Boil for one minute (watching closely so it doesn't boil over).
- Remove from the heat and stir. Cover the pot and let it sit overnight, 8-12 hours.
- In the morning before serving, stir the oatmeal to recombine the oats with any residual liquid and heat over medium for 1-2 minutes until the oatmeal is heated through.
- Serve with your favorite oatmeal toppings! We love bananas, craisins, agave nectar or a bit of brown sugar, blueberries, and lots of other fruits.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Oats/Quinoa: you'll see from my pictures that sometimes we get a little wild and crazy with this recipe and use half quinoa, half steel cut oats. The directions and water/salt amounts are completely the same, just change out half the steel cut oats for rinsed quinoa. Yum!
