If I dont have the time for steel-cut oats, I preferrolled oatsover quick-cooking oats in this recipe.

It will keep well for up to a week in the fridge in an airtight container.
Microwave it for 2 minutes, and it will be just like freshly cooked oatmeal.
Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
Stir in the oatmeal and turn the heat down to low.
Cook, stirring occasionally, until the oatmeal is tender and the liquid is absorbed, about 25 minutes.
If the oatmeal is looking really dry, add the remaining 1/2 cup water to the pot.
If it is looking too thin, continue to simmer the oatmeal until it thickens.
Simple Tip!
If you dont want to use steel-cut oats, you’re able to use rolled oats instead.
Reduce the water to 1 cup and decrease the simmering time to about 10 minutes.
The rolled oatmeal wont have the same texture as steel-cut oatmeal but will have a great flavor.
Serve the oatmeal immediately with your favorite toppings or store in the fridge for later.
