Healthy Mealtime Recipes Healthy Breakfast & Brunch Recipes Healthy Cereal Recipes Healthy Oatmeal Recipes Overnight Steel-Cut Oats Be the first to rate & review! These overnight steel-cut oats are the ultimate make-ahead breakfast. Make a batch for the whole family, or store the extra servings in the fridge to eat throughout the week. We love these creamy steel-cut oats topped with honey, bananas and raspberries, but any sweetener, chopped fruit or nut topping will work well.

(Watch carefully to ensure the mixture doesn't boil over.) Once the mixture is boiling, reduce heat to medium and add oats; cook, stirring constantly, until the oats just begin to soften and absorb some of the liquid, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat, cover the pot and let the mixture cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Transfer to an airtight container or keep in the same pot; refrigerate covered, for at least 8 hours or up to 12 hours. Transfer to a large saucepan, if necessary. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; cook, stirring often, until the mixture has thickened and the oats have softened, about 10 minutes. Drizzle with honey before serving. To make ahead Refrigerate cooled cooked oats airtight for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 2 months (thaw in the fridge overnight). To reheat, transfer to a microwave-safe container and microwave on High until hot, 3 to 5 minutes. Drizzle with honey and add desired toppings before serving. Tip People with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity should use oats that are labeled "gluten-free," as oats are often cross-contaminated with wheat and barley.

Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
