Here's how to make the perfect bowl of creamy overnight steel-cut oats. It's a healthy make-ahead breakfast that you can enjoy all week long with all kinds of toppings!
4cupsliquid (I like to use 3 cups water and 1 cup milk)
1cupSteel-cut oats (180g)
a pinch of salt
1tablespoonchia seeds
Instructions
Pour water and milk to a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Add oats and salt and stir and simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring often.
Turn off the heat and let it cool for at least 10 minutes. Stir in the chia seeds and either close the lid and refrigerate the entire pot or transfer the oatmeal into a large airtight container and place in the fridge.
Allow the oats to sit for at least 8 hours. Enjoy cold or reheat with a splash of milk. And don't forget the toppings!
Notes
After soaking the steel-cut oats for at least 8 hours, you can portion into single servings (these small jars are great along with these reusable lids) for an easy grab-n-go breakfast or snack.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
