If you have avoided making steel cut oatmeal due to the 40 to 50 minute cooking time, you now have one less excuse.

You can reduce cooking time to as little as 10 minutes using the method in this recipe that requires a few minutes of prep the night before.

10 Minute Steel Cut Oatmeal produces a creamier oatmeal since less water is lost to evaporation and more is absorbed by the oats. As a result, this recipe can make up to 5 servings compared to 4 servings for 30 minute cooked oats. For the consistency of regular cooked steel-cut oats, reduce water by 1/4 to 1/3 cup to make about four 7 oz. (200 g) servings.

Cook’s Tips

Refrigerate leftovers and reheat in a microwave oven 1 to 3 minutes on medium power for an individual serving. Oatmeal will have about the same consistency as fresh cooked oats. If it is too thick, stir in 1 or 2 tablespoons of water and heat in microwave oven 10 to 50 seconds on high if desired.

For more fiber, vitamins and minerals, add your favorite fresh fruit like blueberries, strawberries, kiwi, mango, and banana.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (175 g) steel cut oats
  • 4 cups (960 ml) cold water
  • 1/2 peel and cored apple or pear, diced (optional)
  • Flavorings to Taste
  • Granulated sugar

Method of Preparation

Step 1

The night before serving, bring 3 cups of water to a boil in a heavy medium sauce pan. Turn off heat, add oats, stir and cover. Do not refrigerate.

Step 2

When ready to cook, add remaining one cup of water and diced fruit if desired. Stir and bring to a simmer. Cook, uncovered 10 minutes on medium to low heat to maintain a simmer or until oats reach desired consistency. If you are using a thin walled pan, stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 3

Remove from heat and cool 5 minutes. Sweeten to taste.
