Since then, I’ve been nagging my sister, Deepa, to give me her recipe, and she finally took the time out to measure everything and sent me the recipe. Seriously, what is it about steel cut oats? Is it the nutty flavor, the chewy texture, the creaminess, or all of the above that contributes to that perfect bowl of steel cut oatmeal? Normally, I love preparing my oatmeal with almond milk, but ever since my sister introduced me to steel cut oats made with low-fat milk, I’ve been hooked onto dairy milk. Yes, steel cut oats do take longer to cook than old-fashioned oats, but they taste better and are better for you. Having said that, if you do wanna speed things up, I usually make a large batch of steel cut oats early in the week. Before I head out to work, I combine the desired amount of cooked oats and milk in a pot and heat it up for a fresh bowl of oatmeal. I love my Classic Steel Cut Oats topped with a little brown sugar, jussssssssssst a little, it makes all the difference. And then I finish my oats off with banana and walnuts, or you may use whatever toppings you like. Enjoy!
