Steel-cut oatmeal is one of our staple breakfasts. I’m so used to the chewy and hearty texture that I have a hard time eating classic rolled oats these days. And steel-cut oats are even more nutrient-packed than regular oats. The big problem, however, is that cooking steel-cut oats is too time consuming for many people. So a great no fuss alternative is to soak the oats overnight, no cooking involved. This method is so simple, you can have different variations of steel-cut oats every week!
I like using my homemade almond milk for the nutty flavor, but regular milk works just as fine. Feel free to play around with the ingredients. If you have fresh berries or any kind of dried fruit, throw them in. Believe me, anything will work.
