Ingredients

• 1 cup steel-cut oats

• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar (optional, for sweetness)

Step 2

Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and stir in the steel-cut oats and salt.

Allow the oats to simmer gently, stirring occasionally, to prevent sticking. Cook for about 20-25 minutes, or until the oats reach your desired level of tenderness.

Step 4

If a creamier texture is preferred, stir in 1 cup of milk during the last 5 minutes of cooking.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in brown sugar, cinnamon, and butter, if using.

Step 6

Portion the cooked oats into serving bowls and add your choice of toppings, such as fresh berries, chopped nuts, or a drizzle of honey.

Step 7

Serve warm and enjoy your hearty Irish Pin Oats!
