Ingredients

1. 1 1/2 cups steel-cut oats
2. 6 cups water
3. 1/4 cup chopped salted roasted almonds
4. 1/4 cup dried cranberries
5. Brown sugar or pure maple syrup, for serving

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, uncover the oats and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring frequently, until the oatmeal is cooked and creamy but still a little bit chewy, about 10 minutes. Spoon the oatmeal into bowls. Top with the chopped almonds and dried cranberries and sweeten to taste with brown sugar or pure maple syrup.
