Ingredients

1 tablespoon salted butter (coconut oil for vegan)
2 cups Old Fashioned rolled oats (do not use instant oats or steel cut oats)
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup water
1 cup milk, plus more for serving (non-dairy milk for vegan)
4 cups water
2 cups milk
1 1/2 cups steel cut oats
Scant 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Steps:

Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the oats and toast for about 2 to 3 minutes, stirring often, until fragrant. Add the salt and cinnamon. Turn the heat to low and carefully pour in the water or milk, stirring. Cover and cook for 5 minutes until tender, then remove from the heat. Serve immediately for a chunky texture, or stir in another 1/2 cup milk for a creamier body. The texture is intentionally chewy (not gloppy or soggy!). Top with desired toppings and serve. Store refrigerated for up to 2 week.
Bring water and milk to a boil. Watch to make sure that it does not boil over. Once just boiling, add the steel cut oats, salt and cinnamon and stir. Bring to a simmer. Simmer 20 to 25 minutes until the oats are creamy and tender. Serve immediately with desired toppings. Stores refrigerated up to 1 week: it will become very thick, so stir in some milk or water when reheating.

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

2 tablespoons unsalted butter or coconut oil
2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1 ½ cups water
½ cup milk of choice or additional water
Generous pinch of fine salt
Pinch of ground cinnamon (optional)

Steps:

Melt the butter in a medium-to-large saucepan over medium heat. Once melted, add the oats and stir to coat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the oats smell toasty and some are starting to turn lightly golden, about 4 to 6 minutes.
Pour the water and milk into the pot, being careful to avoid splatters. Add the salt and cinnamon, if desired. Stir to evenly incorporate the oats, then watch the pot until the mixture is bubbling rapidly around the edges. Continue cooking until the bubbles expand a couple of inches toward the center of the pot, about 3 minutes in total.
Cover the pot and turn off the heat. If using an electric cooktop, move the pot to a cool burner. If using a gas cooktop, leave it be. Either way, let the covered pot rest for 7 minutes.
When the timer's up, remove the lid to check on the oats. The oats are done when they appear slightly dry and separated on top, with very little moisture remaining at the bottom of the pot. If it's still too wet, recover the pot and let it rest for 1 to 2 minutes more. Serve as desired.
Leftover oatmeal will keep for about 4 days. Let the oats cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate.
