To prepare, combine the steel cut oats with water or milk in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer. Stir occasionally as the oats cook and thicken. The cooking time will vary, but they typically take longer to cook than rolled oats due to their texture. Once tender and creamy, they are ready to serve. You can add sweeteners, fruits, nuts, or spices to customize the flavor.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike rolled oats, which are steamed and flattened, steel cut oats retain their original shape. This results in a chewier texture and a more robust oat flavor. They also take longer to cook because the oat groats are only cut, not processed further.
