One of the healthiest grains you can eat

Nearly every household has a canister or box of oats stashed in their pantry, or at least they should. This shelf-stable cereal grain is packed with several health benefits in each spoonful. There are various types of oats to choose from at the store that it can be a little overwhelming. So I’m going to walk you through one of the most popular varieties called steel cut oats or Irish style oats.

These little bits have a delicious nutty flavor and slightly chewy texture that gets creamy as it cooks. Because they are one of the least processed varieties, they can take a longer time to cook. But not to worry! I have four easy methods you can try that vary in cooking time, hands-on activity, and yield. Choose the one that best suits your needs, and you’ll be an oatmeal pro in no time.

How to cook steel cut oats

. Microwaving is the quickest method. Works well for single-serving portions only.
. Stovetop is the most traditional method, giving you control of the cooking process. Best for those not in a rush, and want to feed more people.

.Overnight combines soaking the evening before and quickly heating on the stovetop in the morning to thicken the oats. For those in a hurry but have a few minutes to spare.
. Slow cooking is a great way to make a big batch with very little need for stirring. Just set it and let the machine do all of the work!
. Pressure cooking makes oatmeal in about half the time compared to the stovetop. If you have this device, check out my separate Instant Pot steel cut oats recipe.
