Overnight Steel Cut Oats
Description
To make Overnight Steel Cut Oats, steel cut oats are combined with water and a pinch of sea salt, brought to a boil, quickly simmered for one minute, then removed from heat and cooled. Transferring the mixture to a covered container and refrigerating overnight continues gentle softening without turning the oats mushy.
The result is tender oats with a slightly chewy bite and natural nutty flavor intact. This preparation is served cold and can be topped with ingredients such as banana slices, berries, hemp seeds, chia seeds, or maple syrup according to personal taste.
This method offers a time-saving approach to enjoy steel cut oats without lengthy morning cooking. It also ensures a consistent texture and easy portability in jars or containers for on-the-go breakfasts.
Ingredients
- ½ cup steel cut oats
- 2 cups water
- pinch of sea salt
- cinnamon berries, hemp seeds, chia seeds, maple syrup, etc, for topping
- banana berries, hemp seeds, chia seeds, maple syrup, etc, for topping
Instructions
- Place oats, water and salt into a saucepan and bring to a boil, watching carefully so the water doesn’t boil over. Turn down heat quickly and allow the oats to simmer for 1 minute. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Transfer to a container with a lid, cover and place in the fridge overnight.
- The next morning, portion the oatmeal into jars. The recipe should make 2 servings.
- Add toppings of choice and enjoy cold. I love banana slices, berries, chopped nuts, chia seeds and nut butter for toppings.
