How people cook with it
Steel cut oats are a versatile breakfast staple that can be customized with various toppings.
- Hearty breakfast bowls
- Savory oatmeal
- Baked oatmeal dishes
- Oatmeal cookies
To prepare steel cut oats, combine them with water or milk in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the oats are tender and have absorbed most of the liquid. This typically takes about 20 to 30 minutes. You can also make a larger batch and reheat portions throughout the week. For a richer flavor, consider using milk instead of water, or a combination of both. They can also be cooked in a slow cooker overnight for a convenient morning meal.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike rolled oats, steel cut oats retain more of their original shape and have a chewier texture. They also take longer to cook. Instant oats are much finer and cook very quickly, often resulting in a softer, less substantial texture.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a wholesome and satisfying breakfast option will appreciate these oats.
How to keep the rest
After opening, store any remaining steel cut oats in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. This will help maintain their freshness and prevent them from absorbing moisture or odors. Properly stored, they can last for a considerable time.
