Equipment

  • Medium Saucepan

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp Plant-Based Butter
  • 2 cups Steel-Cut Oats
  • 5 to 6 cups Water
  • ¼ tsp Sea Salt

Instructions

  • Place your saucepan over medium heat and add the plant-based butter. Once melted, add in your oats and begin to toast. Stir frequently so the oats do not burn for about 5 minutes or until the oats start to look golden and smell nutty.
  • Carefully add in your water, starting with the lesser amount, and bring to a boil. Then reduce to a simmer for 25 minutes. Stir frequently so the oats do not stick to the bottom. Feel free to add more water if the oats are getting dry or you prefer a looser oatmeal. Turn the heat off and allow the oats to sit for 5 minutes before serving. Top with your desired toppings and enjoy!
  • Storage Instructions: Store cooked steel-cut oats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For longer storage, portion and freeze for up to 2 months.
  • Reheating Instructions: Reheat refrigerated oats on the stovetop or in the microwave with a splash of water or plant-based milk, stirring until creamy. From frozen, reheat gently with extra liquid until warmed through.
