  • 14 cup milk
  • 14 cup buttermilk
  • 1 ounce slivered almonds
  • 14 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar

Method

  • In a small pot that has a tight fitting lid, melt the butter over medium-high heat and stir in the steel cut oats.

  • Slowly pour in the boiling water and stir to fully incorporate the browned oats.
  • Stir in the dried apple bits and reduce the heat to a low simmer.
  • Cover with a lid and cook for 30 minutes.
  • When 30 minutes is up, stir in the remaining ingredients, slowly and remove from the heat.
  • (NOTE: Depending on the kind of pot you use, there may be some bits baked to the bottom of the pan.
  • These taste good and should be scraped up with a spoon and mixed in with the rest of the dish.

  • Serve hot.
