To make it faster in the morning, start it the night before. Combine the boiling water and oats (and cinnamon, if desired) then cover and take off the heat and let them sit overnight. In the morning, you reheat and cook for more like 10 minutes (or until tender) before adding everything else.

I love steel oats and basically make it the same way, my favorite being with honey, nuts, cinnamon, banana but I have to add a tad butter to the mix. I love that flavor. I add it when it's done.

Thanks Rita for posting this recipe. The cooking time is perfect. I prefer my oats a little creamier, so toward the end of cooking I added in 1/3 cup dry milk powder and doubled the cinnamon. The cooked oatmeal was topped with brown sugar, sliced almonds and banana slices. This makes a nice healthy breakfast that stays with you throughout the morning.

We love the steel-cut oats too. I go one step further and toat the grain in a heavy skillet with 1 tbsp. butter for about 2 minutes until the oats smell like butterscotch,then add them to your boiling water. Try it, you'll love it.
