Gluten-free steel cut oats layered with flax, cinnamon, almonds and dried cranberries in a pint jar. Simmer the whole jar for four servings.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups certified gluten free steel cut oats
  • 1 ½ Tablespoon flax seed
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 3 Tablespoon sliced almonds or sunflower seeds
  • 3 Tablespoon dried cranberries

Directions

  • Add the ingredients to a pint-size glass jar in layers.
  • Label the jar "Cozy Steel Cut Oats.

Notes

To make the whole jar, bring 4.5 cups water to a boil. Add the jar contents and stir. Reduce the heat and cook 10-20 minutes, depending on how chewy you like your oats. Safety: flax and almonds/sunflower seeds go rancid; give the jar a short use-by date and store it cool.
