  1. To make it faster in the morning, start it the night before. Combine the boiling water and oats (and cinnamon, if desired) then cover and take off the heat and let them sit overnight. In the morning, you reheat and cook for more like 10 minutes (or until tender) before adding everything else.
     
  2. We love the steel-cut oats too. I go one step further and toat the grain in a heavy skillet with 1 tbsp. butter for about 2 minutes until the oats smell like butterscotch,then add them to your boiling water. Try it, you'll love it.
     
  3. This is so good! I will never buy another package of pre-made oatmeal again. The texture of the steel cut oats is amazing. I made this with our Sunday morning breakfast. My fiancee mixed in cinnamon and brown sugar, and I stirred raisins, chopped dates and walnuts into mine. Delicious and so filling! Next time I will try mixing bananas in, but I loved my own variation :-) I will make this all the time!
     
  4. i love steel cut oats so i have to try this it sounds really good
     
  5. Very good basic recipe. I halved the recipe and my oatmeal was done well before the 30 minutes; I think 17 minutes would have been fine. I didn't have bananas, so I "made do" with brown sugar and chopped walnuts, what a nice combination. With this dish everything but the bananas was brown, so i think contrast is needed: bananas offer some contrast, but this is a good time for dark raisins, fresh strawberries or dried cranberries. Mind you, I loved my oatmeal just fine, but presentation can sway the undecided. Made for The Wild Bunch for ZWT8 Family Picks.

Tweaks

  1. I like to toast my oats a bit and toss them in browned butter before boiling. The resulting flavor is rich and delicious,
     
  2. This is my new favourite winter breakfast! I use a splash of pure maple syrup in place of honey or brown sugar.
