I love to make this steel cut oats recipe for a delicious, healthy breakfast. It has a perfect creamy texture! This oatmeal reheats well, so I often make a big batch on the weekend to eat throughout the week. Enjoy it with toppings like yogurt, maple syrup, and/or fresh fruit!

Ingredients

2½ cups water
1 cup milk
1 cup steel-cut oats
¼ teaspoon sea salt
Desired mix-ins or toppings, such as cinnamon, dried fruit, berries, nuts, maple syrup, etc.

Instructions

Combine the water and milk in a large saucepan or small Dutch oven. Bring to a boil over high heat.
Stir in the oats and salt and allow the mixture to return to a boil. Reduce the heat so that the liquid maintains a gentle simmer, then cook for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the oats are thick and creamy. Stir occasionally, gently scraping the bottom of the pan to prevent sticking.
Remove from the heat and let stand for 2 minutes to continue thickening. Stir in any desired mix-ins, then portion into bowls and serve with desired toppings.

Notes

Gluten-free note: Oats are naturally gluten-free, but they are sometimes processed in facilities alongside wheat products. Seek out certified gluten-free oats if you need this recipe to be gluten-free!
