Be the first to rate it
Steel-cut oats briefly boiled, then chilled overnight in a lidded container. Divide into jars in the morning and add your favorite toppings.
Ingredients
- ½ cup steel cut oats
- 2 cups water
- Pinch of sea salt
- Toppings of your choice
Equipment
- saucepan
- airtight jar
Directions
- Put the oats, water, and salt in a saucepan and bring to a boil, keeping a close eye so it does not boil over. Turn down the heat and simmer for 1 minute, then take it off the heat and let it cool.
- Transfer the oats to a container with a lid and chill overnight.
- The next morning, spoon the oats into jars or bowls.
- Add toppings and eat cold.
Notes
Airtight in the refrigerator up to 5 days; oats keep softening, so best in the first few days. Stir in a splash of milk if too thick. Note: this method briefly boils the oats before chilling.
