Stovetop Steel Cut Oats

5.0(9)

A friend of mine has been purchasing steel cut oats in bulk from the Amish in our area and sharing! Since I didn't know how to prepare them, I found a similar recipe online and adapted it to my taste. *Note-you can use 4 cups of water and omit the milk. The milk makes it creamier.

3 1/2 cups waterwater
1 pinch saltsalt
1/2 cup skim milkmilk
1 teaspoon vanilla or 1 teaspoon almond extractvanilla
1 pinch cinnamoncinnamon

Instructions (6 steps)

01Bring the water to a boil in a large pot. Add the steel cut oats and and salt. Stir.
02Reduce the heat to medium low and cook for 30 minutes. Make sure you stir the oats occasionally so they don’t stick to the pan.
03When the oats start to thicken, at about 30 minutes, add in the milk and extract. I think the milk makes the oats creamier. Stir the oats, milk, and extract together and cook for ten more minutes.
04Add in cinnamon and raisins or whatever toppings you wish.
05(If you want to make bruleed oats-put the oats in a bowl, sprinkle with brown sugar and turbinado sugar. With a creme brulee torch, fire the top of the oats until the sugar is crystalized).
