Brown Butter Steel Cut Oatmeal Recipes

Steps:

• 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 25 minutes, without stirring.
• Combine the milk and half of the buttermilk with the oatmeal. Stir gently to combine and cook for an additional 10 minutes. Spoon into a serving bowl and top with remaining buttermilk, brown sugar, and cinnamon.

Steps:

• Select Sauté on the Instant Pot and melt the butter. Add the oats and sauté, stirring often, for about 5 minutes, until aromatic and lightly toasted. Add the water and salt and stir to combine, making sure all of the oats are submerged in the liquid.
• Secure the lid and set the Pressure Release to Sealing. Press the Cancel button to reset the cooking program, then select the Porridge settingand set the cooking time for 12 minutes at high pressure.
• Let the pressure release naturally for at least 10 minutes, then move the Pressure Release to Venting to release any remaining steam. Open the pot and stir the oatmeal to incorporate any extra liquid.
• Ladle the oatmeal into bowls and serve with brown sugar and cream.
• Variations
• Apple cinnamon: Stir in 1 apple, chopped, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon with the water.
• Pumpkin spice: Stir in 1 cup pumpkin puree, 1/4 cup maple syrup, and ¾ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice with the water.
• Peanut butter-banana: Stir 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter into the finished oatmeal. Top each serving with banana slices.
• Blueberry almond/pecan: Top each serving with a handful of fresh blueberries, a scattering of toasted sliced almonds or pecans, and a drizzle of honey.
• Savory sesame soy: Omit the salt. Stir in 2 tablespoons soy sauce and add 1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil with the water. Serve topped with a fried egg.

Steps:

• Heat butter in pot or pan. Continue cooking, while stirring frequently, on medium until it's a hazelnut color, but do not burn it.
• Add all the oats to the browned butter, leaving it on medium heat.
• Add cinnamon sticks to this.
• Stir oats/cinnamon sticks frequently until the oats darken. It should be smelling pretty good.
• Add all the oat milk.
• Bring the mix to a boil while stirring.
• Once it boils, reduce heat to low and let simmer for maybe 25-30 minutes covered. You can stir occasionally, and if it sticks to the bottom, don't worry, it's still good.
• Remove the lid and add brown sugar. Keep simmering uncovered for another 10 or 15 minutes, until the oats are thicker and soft. You do still want to have a bit of fluid at this point, though, so the next step doesn't make it too dry.
• Add wheat germ. This gives it a bit of flavor and texture, as well as some health benefits. The wheat germ should take up some of the fluid and make it somewhat thick now.
• Let cool for a few minutes until it's warm, not hot. Add eggs and vanilla and stir. At this point, it should have a traditional porridge consistency, as the eggs add wetness.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, 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 25 minutes, without stirring.
• Alternately, after adding the boiling water,cover the saucepan and remove from the heat. Allow to sit overnight on the counter. In the morning, proceed as directed below.
• Combine the milk and the buttermilk (or yogurt) with the oatmeal. Stir gently to combine and cook for an additional 10 minutes.
• Spoon into a serving bowl and top with additional milk or buttermilk, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
• Feel free to garnish or sweeten as desired: chunky applesauce or fruit conserves are great, as is maple syrup, or add dried fruit to the oats and soak both overnight - sweetens the oats ever so slightly.
