Ingredients

  • Ingredients
    1. 1 1/2 cups steel-cut oats
    2. 6 cups water
    3. 1/4 cup chopped roasted, salted almonds
    4. 1/4 cup dried cranberries
    5. Sugar

Directions

  1. In a large saucepan, boil the oats in the water for 1 minute. Cover and let stand overnight at room temperature.
  2. The next day, bring the oatmeal to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the oatmeal is cooked but still a bit chewy, about 10 minutes. Serve with the chopped almonds and dried cranberries and sweeten with sugar to taste.

Make Ahead

The cooked oatmeal can be refrigerated for up to 5 days. Add a few tablespoons of water when reheating.
