STEEL CUT OATS

STEEL CUT OATS

Preparation time: 2 minutes

Yield: 4 servings

3-cups water

1-cup Scottish Oats, Irish Oats, or steel cut oats

1/8 teaspoon salt (optional)

optional: sweetener of choice (agave nectar, maple syrup, stevia), add cinnamon, raisin, dry fruit, or fresh fruit

The traditional way to prepare steel cut oats is on the stovetop.  It takes 20 minutes and must be watched and stirred frequently or the oats get scorched, burned, or the pot boils over. 

In a glass container place a wooden chopstick in the water to avoid a hot water build up problem and zap water for 5 minutes.  

Stir in oats, cover, and let it sit overnight. 

In the morning zap for 5 minutes, stir, and serve, 

Add sweetener of your choice, cinnamon, raisins, nut, rice or soy milk and serve.  It can be served dry, plain, or anyway you desire. 

Store leftovers.  In the morning take the amount you want, place it in a bowl, add a teaspoon of water, zap for 2 minutes, and stir.
