3cupswater
pinchsalt
1teaspoonbutter of coconut oil
Regular milk or Almond milk to taste.
Instructions
Melt 1 tsp. of butter of coconut oil in heavy bottom pot.
Stir in 1 cup of Steel Cut Oats and cook until toasty smelling.
Add 1 pinch of salt and 3 cups of water to pot and bring to boil.
As soon as the mixture comes to a boil, turn heat off and cover pot with lid.
Leave on stove overnight.
In the morning just stir in a bit of milk to loosen the mixture up a tiny bit, heat and serve.
Makes enough for 4 medium servings.
Notes
Use ¼ cup of quinoa in your oatmeal. (just sub it in for ¼ of the oats - so instead of 1 cup of steel cut oats use ¾s of a cup of steel cut oats and ¼ cup of quinoa)
Add a handful of wheat berries for extra chew and nutrients.
Use ½ cup of coconut milk to add HUGE flavour and creaminess. (just sub it in for ½ cup of the water - so instead of 3 cups of water, use ½ cup of coconut milk and 2 ½ cups of water.
Throw in some chia seeds. Chia seeds thicken the oatmeal as it cooks overnight and also boost the good health properties.
