A delightful and creamy steel cut oats recipe enhanced with a touch of vanilla and a hint of cinnamon, perfect for a warm and satisfying breakfast.
In a saucepan, melt a small amount of butter over medium heat.
Using butter enhances the nutty flavor of the oats.
Add the steel cut oats to the saucepan and toast them for about 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
Toasting the oats brings out their natural nuttiness and adds depth to the flavor.
Pour in the boiling water, reduce the heat to low, and let the oats simmer for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stirring occasionally prevents the oats from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Add the milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon to the saucepan, stirring to combine. Cook for an additional 10 minutes.
Adding the milk towards the end ensures a creamy texture without overcooking.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the oats sit for a few minutes before serving.
Letting the oats rest allows them to thicken slightly and enhances the flavor.
Serve the oats in bowls and top with your favorite toppings like fresh fruits, nuts, or a drizzle of honey.
Experiment with different toppings to customize your oatmeal to your taste.
