Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups cold water
  • 1/2 cup milk of choice, I used almond milk
  • 1/2 tbsp butter or vegan margarine
  • 1/2 cup steel cut oats
  • 1/4-1/2 tsp sea or kosher salt

Instructions

  1. 1.In a medium saucepan, combine water and milk. Bring to a simmer. Let simmer on low heat.

    2.In a medium nonstick fry pan, add butter on medium heat, toss in oats to toast. Stir until a bit golden brown. This will add a rich depth of flavor to your oats. Cook about 1 to 2 minutes.

    3.Add the oats into the liquid mixture. Add salt and cook on low for about 15 to 2o minutes or until the oats are nice and thick. Stir occasionally. All liquid should be absorbed. Make sure you don’t scorch or burn the bottom of the saucepan. Keep heat low and stir as needed.

    4.Take off heat and let sit for about 5 minutes. Toss in your favorite add-ins for that day. Pour into bowls. I like to top mine with cinnamon and then some dried fruit and nuts. Also, a little more almond milk.
