Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups steel-cut oats
  • 4 cups whole milk
  • 2 cups water
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup honey plus extra for drizzling
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Optional toppings: sliced bananas berries, chopped nuts, brown sugar

Method
 

  1. In a large saucepan, bring milk and water to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.
  2. Stir in the steel-cut oats and salt, then reduce heat to low.
  3. Simmer uncovered for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring frequently, until the steel-cut oats are tender and the porridge is creamy. If it thickens before the oats are tender, add a small splash of water or milk.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in cinnamon, honey, and butter until well combined.
  5. Let stand for 2-3 minutes to thicken slightly.
  6. Divide among bowls and top with your favorite toppings and an extra drizzle of honey.
