Overnight oatmeal

Honest Oatmeal

I've looked at lots of oatmeal recipes...crockpot...in a jar...baked...looking for something easy to set up so I am not stirring oatmeal for 20 minutes in the morning.  This recipe is tried, tested, retested, always good.

In a large saucepan, boil 4 cups of water;
When water is boiling, stir in 1 cup steel cut oats *
remove from heat, put a lid on it. Leave it on the counter overnight.

That's it!

In the morning scoop some into a bowl and microwave for 1 minute. Add your own brown sugar, milk, rice milk, fruit, or a sprinkling of granola on top. Scoop the leftovers into a bowl and refrigerate for tomorrow's breakfast.

*you can do this will rolled oats too.  I've tried it and it came out a little watery, so maybe 1/2 cup less water. I prefer the steel cut oats but I don't think my family even notices the difference between steel-cut and rolled.
