Best Stovetop Steel Cut Oats Recipes

STOVETOP STEEL CUT OATS

Steps:

• Bring the water to a boil in a large pot. Add the steel cut oats and and salt. Stir.
• Reduce the heat to medium low and cook for 30 minutes. Make sure you stir the oats occasionally so they don't stick to the pan.
• When the oats start to thicken, at about 30 minutes, add in the milk and extract. I think the milk makes the oats creamier. Stir the oats, milk, and extract together and cook for ten more minutes.
• Add in cinnamon and raisins or whatever toppings you wish.
• (If you want to make bruleed oats-put the oats in a bowl, sprinkle with brown sugar and turbinado sugar. With a creme brulee torch, fire the top of the oats until the sugar is crystalized).
• Serve the oats hot. This batch makes 4-6 servings. If you want you can let the oats cool and then portion them out into smaller containers. To reheat, add a splash of milk and reheat in the microwave for 1-2 minutes.

PAM'S STOVETOP STEEL CUT OATS

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.
