Pam's Stovetop Steel Cut Oats image

I never had steel cut oats until about a year ago. I was watching one of the food shows and they were talking about how different they were from the old fashioned rolled oats. Being a "rebel" that will try almost anything, I bought a can of McCann's Irish Steel Cut Oats and haven't used a packet of instant or a box of rolled oats...

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 c steel cut oats (not instant, mccann's is my choice)
1 1/2 Tbsp butter
2 1/2 c water, or silk brand vanilla flavored almond or coconut milk, or any % regular milk
1/2 c whole milk (optional) if using, cut other liquids to 2 c.
1/8 tsp salt
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
sweetener to taste (honey, agave nectar, stevia, maple syrup, molasses, sugar, brown sugar, splenda, etc)
heavy cream, half and half, or milk (your choice and amount preference)

Steps:

  • 1. In a heavy medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium high heat and add the oats, stirring constantly to toast the oats before cooking. This will take a few minutes of stirring and when you notice a toasty, nutty aroma and a slightly browned color, they are ready to add the liquids.
  • 2. Pour in the liquid(s), add salt and stir until the oats get smooth and thickened slightly. Turn the heat down to very low (just barely blurping)and cover. Cook on very low, stirring about every 5 minutes for 20 to 30 minutes. (To test for doneness, taste a few grains. They should be tender, but still have some "tooth" and texture.)
  • 3. When the oats are done to your liking, stir in the vanilla extract and serve. Use your favorite sweetener and a splash of your choice of dairy product. Stir and enjoy.

Oats were a bit bland. Next time I'll add some spices or fruit to jazz it up.

This recipe is a lifesaver! I'm always short on time in the mornings and these oats are quick and easy to make.

Not a fan of the 1:3 oats to liquid ratio. Oats were too thick for my liking.

Used almond milk instead of regular milk and it turned out great! Oats were creamy and delicious.

Oats were a bit too chewy for my taste, but overall a good recipe.

Followed the recipe to a T and the oats turned out bland. Not sure what went wrong.

Took a little longer than I expected, but worth the wait. Oats were creamy and flavorful, just how I like them.
