Ingredients: Steel Cut Oats, Fresh Fruits, Nuts & Seeds, Dried fruit, Flax and Chia seeds

In an Instant Pot (Electric Pressure Cooker):

• Add 1 Cup of Steel Cut oats to an instant pot
• Add 3 cups of water (1:3 ratio of Oats to Water)
• Cook on Manual, High Pressure for 5 minutes
• Enjoy creamy Oats with all the toppings

Stove top:

• Place 2 1/2 cups water in a medium/large saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat.
• As soon as the liquid boils, stir in the steel cut oats. Bring to a  steady boil, then immediately reduce the heat to low (gentle simmer).  Keep a close eye on the pot so as to prevent boiling over.
• Let the oats gently simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally and scraping along the bottom of the pan to prevent sticking.
• For softer, creamier oats, continue cooking for 5 to 10 additional minutes. Stirring every few minutes until the oatmeal is as tender as you like. If the oatmeal becomes thicker than you’d like, add a little extra water to thin it out to your desired consistency.
• Remove the oatmeal from the heat and let sit a few minutes to finish thickening.
• Enjoy hot with any of your favorite toppings.
