Powerhouse Oatmeal
1 tablespoon butter
1 cup steel cut oats
3 cups boiling water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2-1 cup milk, soy milk or (my fave) almond milk
1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
2 teaspoons cinnamon
In a large saucepot, melt the butter and add the oats. Stir for 2 minutes to toast. Add the boiling water and reduce heat to a simmer. Keep at a low simmer for 20 minutes, without stirring.
Add salt and milk to the oatmeal. Stir gently to combine and cook for an additional 10 minutes. Stir in sweetener and cinnamon prior to serving.
