A delightful and easy-to-make overnight steel cut oats recipe with a touch of caramelized sweetness.
Combine the steel cut oats, water, and salt in a mixing bowl.
Using filtered water can enhance the flavor of the oats.
Place the bowl inside a crock pot filled with water, ensuring the water level matches the oats mixture level.
Ensure the bowl is stable to prevent water from entering the oats mixture.
Cook on low heat overnight, approximately 8 hours.
Set a timer if your crock pot has one for convenience.
In the morning, stir the oats and transfer to serving bowls.
Stirring ensures an even creamy texture.
For the topping, mix the cinnamon and sugar, and sprinkle over the oats along with fresh berries.
Use a variety of berries for a colorful presentation.
Optional: Place the bowls under a broiler for 1-2 minutes to caramelize the sugar topping.
Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious breakfast.
