Delish! I added some chopped walnuts and blueberries. The extra liquid doesn’t bother me, as with oatmeal I add milk anyway.

I have been diagnosed with prediabetes and have been searching for recipes that are low in carbs yet filling and delicious. I have enjoyed a number of Melissa’s recipes in the past and I recently came upon her recipe for overnight steel cut oats. I already had steel cut oats on hand but didn’t make them very often due to the lengthy cooking time. Thought I’d give Melissa’s recipe a try and so I made it yesterday after noon and ate it this morning. I warmed the recipe in the microwave and it was delicious! Thank you Melissa.

I made this too. The oats were saturated and soft with still a bit of chewy ness to them but there was too much milk. I added some chia seeds but it wasn’t enough. I will make again just using less milk.

In reply to KaraLee. That is so odd, but you aren't the first person who has said this. I'd love to know what brand you are using so that I can do some testing!

I followed you directions and the oats have been sitting in my fridge two days now and they haven’t soaked up any of the milk.

I tried this 1:4 ratio and after 12 hours, the steel cut oats were still at the bottom of half water. I had to place on the stove in a pot for a half hour to get them right.

In reply to Julie B. I made this with Bob's Red Mill Steel Cut oats and it worked great! I wonder if it's an issue with different brands of oats?

In reply to Holly. Same thing happened here. Seems steel cut oats must, in fact, be cooked? I've deduced overnight/rolled/steel cut are all quite different.
