When you learn how to make steel-cut oatmeal, you may find yourself doing it daily or weekly so you have a bowl of hearty, chewy and filling oats for breakfast each morning. This recipe makes a classic version. Toppings are up to you.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup water or low-fat milk

  • Pinch of salt

  • ¼ cup steel-cut oats (see Tip)

  • 1 fluid ounce Low-fat milk for serving

  • 1 to 2 teaspoons honey, cane sugar or brown sugar for serving

  • 1 pinch cinnamon

Method

  1. Combine water (or milk) and salt in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil. Stir in oats and reduce heat to low; cook, stirring occasionally, until the oats are the desired texture, 20 to 30 minutes.

  2. Serve with your favorite toppings, such as milk, sweetener, cinnamon, dried fruits or nuts.
