Alton Brown's Steel Cut Oats image

Here is Alton's method for making a nice creamy bowl of hearty steel-cut oats. His recipe adapts perfectly to overnight soaking. I followed the recipe through adding the boiling water, then cover it (heat off) and head to bed. In the morning, I add the milk and simmer for 10 minutes. Delicious!

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 cup steel cut oats
3 cups boiling water
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup whole milk
1/2 cup low-fat buttermilk or 1/2 cup plain yogurt
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, melt the butter and add the oats. Stir for 2 minutes to toast.
  • Add the boiling water and reduce heat to a simmer. Keep at a low simmer for 25 minutes, without stirring.
  • Alternately, after adding the boiling water,cover the saucepan and remove from the heat. Allow to sit overnight on the counter. In the morning, proceed as directed below.
  • Combine the milk and the buttermilk (or yogurt) with the oatmeal. Stir gently to combine and cook for an additional 10 minutes.
  • Spoon into a serving bowl and top with additional milk or buttermilk, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
  • Feel free to garnish or sweeten as desired: chunky applesauce or fruit conserves are great, as is maple syrup, or add dried fruit to the oats and soak both overnight - sweetens the oats ever so slightly.

I found that the oats took longer to cook than the recipe stated. I had to add extra water and cook them for an additional 10 minutes.

This recipe is a great base for oatmeal. I like to add fresh fruit, nuts, and seeds to it for a more flavorful and nutritious meal.

Love the addition of the cinnamon and nutmeg. It really gives the oatmeal a warm and inviting flavor.

The texture of the steel-cut oats was a bit too chewy for me. I prefer a softer oatmeal.

I've tried many steel-cut oat recipes, but this one is by far the best. The oats are cooked perfectly and have a wonderful nutty flavor.
