Ingredients

Liquid Base:
2½ cups water
1 cup milk
Oats:
1 cup steel-cut oats
¼ teaspoon sea salt
Mix-ins and Toppings:
Desired mix-ins or toppings (such as cinnamon, dried fruit, berries, nuts, maple syrup, etc.)

Instructions

Cooking the Oats:
Step 1

Combine the water and milk in a large saucepan or small Dutch oven. Bring to a boil over high heat.
Step 2

Stir in the oats and salt and allow the mixture to return to a boil. Reduce the heat so that the liquid maintains a gentle simmer, then cook for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the oats are thick and creamy. Stir occasionally, gently scraping the bottom of the pan to prevent sticking.
Step 3

Remove from the heat and let stand for 2 minutes to continue thickening. Stir in any desired mix-ins, then portion into bowls and serve with desired toppings.
