Method
 

PREPARE THE STEEL CUT OATS
  1. You have options for preparing your steel cut oats…I have instructions for stove top method and rice cooker method below. I personally prefer the rice cooker method.
  2. STEEL CUT OATS IN THE RICE COOKER
    Add 1 cup of steel cut oats to your rice cooker. Add the amount of water recommended on your rice cooker (there should be a labeled line or instructions). Press start and allow to cook. My rice cooker takes one hour for steel cut oats, time will vary depending on rice cooker.

  3. STEEL CUT OATS ON THE STOVE
    To prepare steel cut oats on the stove, place 3 cups of water in a pot and bring to a boil.Add in one cup of steel cut oats. Bring back to a boil and then reduce heat to low, so the oats can simmer. Simmer for 20 minutes, stirring often so the oats don't stick to the bottom of the pan. Oats will be ready when the water is absorbed and the oats are tender.
PREPARE THE PEANUT CARAMEL SAUCE
  1. In a sauce pan cook 1/4 cup of peanuts over medium heat for 1 minute allowing them to slightly roast.In a sauce pan cook 1/4 cup of peanuts over medium heat for 1 minute allowing them to slightly roast.
