I’m going to soak mine from now on, I don’t trust that storage pesticides aren’t sprayed all over them… “The dose only affects the foraging pests, it poses no harm to humans in the allowable amounts” etc.

* TOTAL TIME: 15 MIN Plus Overnight Soaking  * SERVINGS: 6
1 1/2 cups steel-cut oats 6 cups water 1/4 cup chopped salted roasted almonds 1/4 cup dried cranberries Brown sugar or pure maple syrup, for serving
Directions
1. In a large saucepan, boil the oats in the water for 1 minute. Cover and let stand overnight at room temperature.  2. The next day, uncover the oats and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring frequently, until the oatmeal is cooked and creamy but still a little bit chewy, about 10 minutes. Spoon the oatmeal into bowls. Top with the chopped almonds and dried cranberries and sweeten to taste with brown sugar or pure maple syrup.
Make Ahead
The prepared oatmeal can be refrigerated for up to 1 week. Rewarm in a microwave oven and thin with water if necessary before serving.

I haven't tried it though. I"m okay with my ground spices mixed in, but I like the idea of using milk instead of water.

To ramp up the taste and get a little extra protein, I stir a large spoonful of peanut butter into the oatmeal. I find the PB helps tide me over to lunch better than just oatmeal.

Thanks for the tip, Heather! I never heard about soaking oatmeal, but will try it tonight. I typically make mine in the morning with maybe half a spoon of sugar, raisins, apricots and a splash of milk. Definitely a great way to start the morning.

We recently used pumpkin pie spice and it was good. Also, I have read about the idea of substituting all of the water for milk and spicing the milk beforehand with whole spices in a tea strainer. I haven't tried it though. I"m okay with my ground spices mixed in, but I like the idea of using milk instead of water.
