Ingredients

• 1 cup steel cut oats
• 3 1/2 cups water
• Pinch of salt
• 1/2 cup milk (almond milk, or soy milk)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preparation

1. 1

   Step 1

   Bring the water to a boil in a large pot. Add the steel cut oats and and salt. Stir.
2. 2

   Step 2

   Reduce the heat to medium low and cook for 30 minutes. Make sure you stir the oats occasionally so they don't stick to the pan.

   Step 3

   When the oats start to thicken, at about 30 minutes, add in the milk and vanilla. I think the milk makes the oats creamier. Stir the oats, milk, and vanilla together and cook for ten more minutes.

   Step 5

   If you want to make bruleed oats-put the oats in a bowl, sprinkle with brown sugar and turbinado sugar. With a creme brulee torch, fire the top of the oats until the sugar is crystalized.

   Step 6

   Serve the oats hot. If you want you can let the oats cool and then portion them out into smaller containers. To reheat, I add a splash of milk and reheat in the microwave for 1-2 minutes.

   Step 7

   *Note-you can use 4 cups of water and omit the milk, I just like the creaminess the milk adds.*
