Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Oatmeal

    In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Stir in 1 cup of steel cut oats and 1 tsp of salt. Reduce the heat to low and simmer uncovered for about 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally until the oats are tender and have absorbed most of the water.

  2. 2

    Make the Blueberry Compote

    In a separate saucepan, combine 2 cups of blueberries, 2 tbs of brown sugar, 1 tbs of lemon juice, and 1 tsp of cinnamon. Cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the blueberries have burst and the mixture has thickened.

  3. 3

    Serve

    Spoon the cooked oatmeal into bowls and top with the blueberry compote. Add additional brown sugar and cinnamon if desired.
