Ingredients
- 2½ cups water
- ¾ cup milk (any kind, such as whole, skim, or plant-based)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup steel cut oats
- Toppings, such as fresh fruit, dried fruit, nuts, maple syrup or honey, cinnamon, etc. (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, bring the water, milk, and salt to a boil. Stir in the oats and return to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally and more frequently toward the end to prevent sticking, for 25 to 30 minutes, until the oats are thick and creamy. (For a chewier texture, opt for the shorter cooking time.) If the oatmeal becomes too thick, add a splash of water or milk to reach your desired consistency. Once done, remove from the heat. Spoon into bowls and serve with your favorite toppings.
Notes
- Make-Ahead Instructions: Let the oats cool completely, then store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. When you’re ready to eat, reheat the leftovers in a pot over low heat, stirring occasionally, and adding a splash of water or milk to reach your desired consistency. Alternatively, you can reheat them in the microwave by placing the oats in a microwave-safe bowl, adding a bit of liquid, and heating in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until warmed through.
