Overnight Steel Cut Oats
Overnight Steel Cut Oats are prepared by briefly simmering steel cut oats before refrigerating them overnight, yielding a chewy texture with a creamy consistency. This method softens the oats without overcooking, preserving their nutty flavor. Served cold with toppings like banana slices, berries, or seeds, the oats offer a customizable, convenient breakfast.

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.
