Instructions
- Rinse the oats: Rinse 1 cup of steel cut oats under cold water in a fine-mesh strainer to remove any dust or impurities.
- Boil the liquid: In a medium saucepan, combine 4 cups of water or almond milk and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a rolling boil over medium heat.
- Add the oats: Once boiling, stir in the rinsed oats and reduce heat to low. Simmer gently for about 20-30 minutes until reaching your desired consistency.

- Top it off: Transfer cooked oats into bowls and top with your chosen favorites like fresh berries, nuts, or a drizzle of honey.
