A hearty and healthy breakfast option, this creamy steel cut oatmeal recipe is versatile and perfect for starting your day.
Melt the butter in a large pan over medium heat.
Using unsalted butter allows you to control the saltiness of the dish.
Add the steel cut oats to the pan and toast them until they are golden and aromatic.
Toasting the oats enhances their nutty flavor.
Pour in the boiling water, reduce the heat to low, and cover with a tight-fitting lid.
Stir occasionally to prevent the oats from sticking to the pan.
After 25 minutes, stir in the milk and continue cooking on low heat for an additional 10 minutes.
Adding milk at this stage makes the oatmeal creamy.
Serve the oatmeal in bowls and add your chosen variation ingredients.
Top with a drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of nuts for extra flavor.
