1
Rinse the Oats
In a fine mesh strainer, rinse the steel cut oats under cold running water for about 30 seconds to remove any dust or impurities.
2
Boil Water
In a medium-sized pot, bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil over high heat.

3
Add Ingredients
Once the water is boiling, add the rinsed steel cut oats and 1 teaspoon of salt. Stir to combine.
4
Simmer
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer uncovered for about 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are tender and have absorbed most of the water.
5
Add Raisins and Brown Sugar
In the last 5 minutes of cooking, stir in the raisins and brown sugar, allowing them to soften and infuse their sweetness into the oatmeal.

6
Add Milk
Once the oatmeal is cooked, remove the pot from heat and stir in 1 cup of milk for creaminess. You can add more or less based on your preference.
7
Serve
Ladle the oatmeal into bowls and serve warm. Add additional brown sugar or raisins on top if desired.
