I came up with how to cook steel-cut oats overnight by making four portions ahead and refrigerating them overnight because they take so long to cook. It's very hearty, delicious, and wholesome!
Ingredients
- water: 4 cups
- dash salt: 1 piece
- steel-cut oats: 1 cup
- walnuts: 0.25 cup (chopped)
- raisins: 0.25 cup
- agave nectar: 2 Tbsp
- vanilla extract: 1 tsp
- ground cinnamon: 1 tsp
- milk: 0.5 cup

Stages of cooking
-
Bring water and salt to a boil in a pot. Pour in oats and return to a boil while stirring. Reduce heat and let simmer until water is absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
-
Remove oats from heat and immediately stir in walnuts and raisins. Stir in agave nectar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon.
-
Divide oat mixture into 4 portions in bowls. Cover and refrigerate overnight, or up to 5 days.
-
When ready to prepare, add 2 tablespoons milk to each portion. Heat in a microwave for 1 minute and 30 seconds, stirring halfway through cook time.
