Proper: Overnight Oatmeal

You haven’t really had oatmeal until you’ve had steel cut oatmeal cooked slowly overnight until it becomes incredibly creamy, but still retains a wonderful texture.

In addition to tasting great, steel cut oats have been less processed than rolled or flaked oats, and tend to have a higher fiber content.

If you’re lucky enough to have a crockpot or slow cooker, you can try this breakfast out.

Start by lightly coating the inside of your crockpot with cooking oil. It makes cleaning up easier. Then add:

1 cup of steel cut oats
4 cups water
2 tsp Maldon flaked sea salt, or 1 tsp of regular sea salt

Cook on low overnight.

In the morning, there’ll be a bit of a crust to the oatmeal. Give it a good stir, let it sit for a few minutes and that crust will dissolve into the oatmeal.

We like to have our overnight oatmeal with a drizzle of fruit syrup from Summerland Sweets. It’s also good with a touch of brown sugar.
