Steel Cut Oatmeal

Excellent oatmeal! I didn't have buttermilk, so I used 3/4 cup vanilla soy milk with a dash of cider vinegar for all the milk. While the oatmeal cooked, I also diced up two apples, added a splash of water and cooked in the microwave (I used the 1 cup fresh vegetable setting). When cooked, but still somewhat firm, I drained most of the liquid, and added brown sugar, cinnamon and maple syrup to taste, so that it was like a baked apple. This was yummy on top of the oatmeal!

Wow! I was skeptical about buttermilk in oatmeal. I thought it would taste weird but the flavor is wonderful. I highly recommend this recipe. It takes longer than regular oatmeal but it's worth it if you have the time.

Using steel cut oats is a new taste treat for our family...we really enjoyed the chewy texture. I first toasted the oats in the butter in an 8 cup pyrex measure in the microwave for about one minute, stirring several times to prevent burning. I imagine the length of time would depend on the wattage of your m.o. I then added the boiling water and cooked on high power for 6 minutes, stirring after 3 minutes. After 6 minutes, my porridge was thickened, so at this point I added some dried cranberries and a sprinkle of Baking Spice Blend Mix, and let the mixture stand, covered for another minute. Instead of buttermilk, we topped our cereal with low fat vanilla yogurt, toasted pumpkin seeds, and toasted sunflower seeds. This will be served regularly during our cold Canadian winters.

You changed my life! I had never eaten cooked oats anyway that I liked. I actually liked these oats. I made this recipe as directed, but since it made a lot, I added the brown sugar to the warm mixture. Leftovers store very well in the refrigerator. All I have to do is zap it in the micro. I know my doctor is going to love me for eating oats. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe.
