Cook until the liquid is absorbed and the oats have the desired texture (about 25 - 30 minutes). 5: Dish the oats into bowls. Add toppings if desired. NOTES: Reduce the water to 3 cups for firmer, more intact grains. Using 4 cups of water will give you creamier oatmeal. Longer cooking will make thicker oatmeal. Store leftover oats in the refrigerator for up to a week. Stir in a little water when reheating. If you would like to add dried fruit, stir it in after the first 20 minutes of cooking. You can also stir in a teaspoon of cinnamon at this time. Some dried fruit options are cherries, raisins, currants, blueberries, apricots, dates, figs, and prunes. Dice the larger fruits. Another option is to top the cooked steel cut oats with dried fruit and nuts. You may also add fresh fruit after cooking. Top with your choice of milk if desired. You can use another salt in place of Kosher salt. ____________________________________ Find MORE delicious recipes and cooking videos at: My website Cooking Lessons for Dad: http://cookinglessonsfordad.com/ Check out my online Cooking Lessons for Dad courses: Cooking Lessons for Dad https://www.udemy.com/cooking-lessons-for-dad/ Easy, Healthy Crockpot Cooking!: Cooking Lessons for Dad! https://www.udemy.com/easy-healthy-crockpot-cooking-cooking-lessons-for-dad/ For more easy, healthy, delicious recipes subscribe to my Cooking Lessons for Dad YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdNEKPuYqS2uVUls0PtENWQ

I recommend using organic flour and aluminum free baking powder when you can. Flax meal is the same as ground or milled flaxseed. You can use whole wheat flour or whole wheat pastry in place of the white whole wheat flour. If you use these flours the scones will be a bit denser and not as sweet. ________________________ Find MORE delicious recipes and cooking videos at: My website Cooking Lessons for Dad: http://cookinglessonsfordad.com/ Check out my online Cooking Lessons for Dad courses: Cooking Lessons for Dad https://www.udemy.com/cooking-lessons-for-dad/ Easy, Healthy Crockpot Cooking!: Cooking Lessons for Dad! https://www.udemy.com/easy-healthy-crockpot-cooking-cooking-lessons-for-dad/ For more easy, healthy, delicious recipes subscribe to my Cooking Lessons for Dad YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdNEKPuYqS2uVUls0PtENWQ
