Easy Steel Cut Oats

Stovetop Steel Cut Oats
1Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the bottom of a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the oats and stir them in the butter for a minute or two or until they smell nutty.
Combine the oats with the water and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat so that the water is just barely simmering. Cook for about 20 minutes, stirring once or twice to lift any oats stuck to the bottom of the pan.
Stir in the milk, butter, cinnamon, and honey. Cook for 5 to 10 minutes or until the oats are soft with a slight chew. If the oatmeal seems dry, add a splash of more water or milk. Serve with your favorite oatmeal toppings.
Slow Cooker Steel Cut Oats
Slow cooker steel cut oats are much creamier than when cooked using other methods (think creamy, delicious oatmeal pudding). To cook steel cut oats in the slow cooker, combine 1 cup steel cut oats with 4 cups water. Add whatever seasonings you love (I add 1 tablespoon butter, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt). Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 7 to 8 hours or on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours. Stir the oats before serving. For extra creamy oatmeal, stir in 1/2 to 1 cup of milk.
Instant Pot Steel Cut Oats
To cook steel cut oats in a pressure cooker like an Instant Pot, combine 1 cup steel cut oats with 3 cups water, a pinch of salt, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon butter (or vegan butter). Stir the oats, secure the lid, and then cook on the manual or pressure cooker setting for 3 minutes at high pressure. When the cooking time is complete, allow the cooker to naturally release the pressure. Stir well before serving. For creamier oats, add 1/2 to 1 cup milk.
