Servings: 2
- ½ cup steel cut oats
- 2 cups water
- pinch of sea salt
- toppings of choice - cinnamon, banana berries, hemp seeds, chia seeds, maple syrup, etc.
Place oats, water and salt into a saucepan and bring to a boil, watching carefully so the water doesn’t boil over. Turn down heat quickly and allow the oats to simmer for 1 minute. Remove from heat and let cool.
Transfer to a container with a lid, cover and place in the fridge overnight.
The next morning, portion the oatmeal into jars. The recipe should make 2 servings.
Add toppings of choice and enjoy cold. I love banana slices, berries, chopped nuts, chia seeds and nut butter for toppings.
