Love to make oatmeal like this, though I use real butter and whole milk! If you like some chew to your oatmeal then definitely give this method a try. I make a big batch and then just reheat with a little extra milk whenever I want a serving for the week. My favorite is just some brown sugar, but I'll eat them with all sorts of fruits too, frozen blueberries are a favorite!

Wow! I had never made steel cut oats before! I used real butter and almond milk. Mine were still a bit runny after the 35 minutes, but the next morning after sitting in the refrigerator over night they were great! I topped with cinnamon, agave and almond butter! What a great breakfast! And I get to eat them for days!

Yummy! I was pleasantly surprised at how good this tasted. I added ~1/2 tsp. cinnamon, 2 heaping tablespoons brown sugar, and a dash of sea salt when I added the 1 C. milk (Vanilla Rice milk). I then cooked for ~15 minutes.

This is a delicious take on porridge. I topped this with the suggested brown sugar, cinnamon and milk. I also added some raisins and hemp hearts. Made for PAC Fall '08

I finally decided to give Steel Cut Oats a try. Don't ask me why I was Leary in doing so (?). Made the oats as per your recipe, using Real Butter though. I just like the taste better. They took a bit longer than you stated, who knows why? For the topping I just threw together ... Some saluted Granny Smith Apples (2), in couple Tblsp. Butter, a large handful raisins, Brown Sugar Truvia (hubby is diabetic), a large splosh of Real maple syrup, tsp.cinnamon, 1/4 tsp. Ginger, 1/4 tsp. Cardamom, 1/4 tsp. Fresh grated Nutmeg, pinch of sea salt. Boy!!, did the house smell Yummy?? After simmering the Oats. Few minutes longer, cut off the heat, lid on, let sit for 15 min. Well, let me say, they were just Wonderful ?? And, I have enuf for some tomorrow! They were creamy, chewy, toasty tasting, & with my apple topping, I am impressed!
