This is one of those dishes that you have to have free time to make right. Best for a weekend, when you are not rushed. It is well worth the extra time, and you will love the bit of pecan taste that adding PKN® Original Pecanmilk adds to the oatmeal.
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups water plus additional as needed
- 1 cup PKN® Original Pecanmilk
- 1 cup steel cut oats
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- Toppings (i.e. blueberries, strawberries, brown sugar)
Directions
- Place 2 1/2 cups water and PKN® Original Pecanmilk in a medium/large saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat.
- When boiling, stir in the oats and salt. Return the mixture to a steady boil, then immediately reduce the heat to low so that the oats are at a gentle simmer. Don’t walk away from the pot at this point, as oats sometimes boil over.
- 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, splash in a little extra water or PKN® Original Pecanmilk 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.
