Easy Make-Ahead Steel-Cut Oats

It turned our nicely. I used dried cherries in place of blueberries. I doubled the cinnamon, because if I'm not adding sugar, I think cinnamon helps with flavor. I think vanilla would be good in it too. If you need it sweeter, one mashed ripe banana adds sweetness. The jars are an interesting idea. I think just keeping it all in a sealed container would work too if you don't need the individual servings made ahead. Thanks for the recipe!

Fixing steel cut oats for breakfast before work takes up too much time for me. I found this recipe to be a very quick way to enjoy steel cut oats, plus it's very good. Even my picky eater enjoys this way of fixing steel cut oats.

This came together very quickly and was perfect for a quick hearty breakfast I could easily reheat in the morning. It seemed thin at first, but, as the oatmeal cooled it thickened perfectly. I added a couple of tbsp. of brown sugar for a touch of sweetness.
