    Overnight Steel Cut Oats

    I absolutely love overnight oatmeal — it’s a fabulous healthy breakfast. This recipe for overnight steel cut oats is the easiest way to enjoy the benefits steel of cut oats! Spend just 5 minutes at night and wake up to perfectly cooked, whole grain goodness. Top with nut butter, berries and a drizzle of maple syrup!

    I've been making this beauty of a recipe for YEARS. Jeff and I are obsessed because it's so foolproof, and now my toddler is on the bandwagon. I mean who wants to wait 25 minutes for oatmeal to cook? Not this family!

    Chewy steel cut oats (also known as Irish or Scottish oats) have such a satisfying, hearty texture and nutty flavor compared to our more mushy friend, the rolled oat. We're talkin' approachable and accessible health food at its finest.

    Nutritious breakfast recipes are kinda my thing, ya dig?

    How to make overnight steel cut oats

    The traditional way to cook steel cut oatmeal simmering the oats on the stovetop for about 30 minutes (like this yummy Mango Steel Cut Oatmeal). Overnight oats (like this zucchini banana version) involve soaking oats in liquid overnight in the refrigerator.

    This is great, but what if you want a hot overnight steel cut oatmeal recipe? My hands-off variation where the oats cook themselves overnight is the answer!

    1. Bring oats, milk, water and salt to a boil. The milk helps make it nice and creamy!
    2. Let mixture boil for 2 minutes on medium heat, stirring often.
    3. Remove from heat, cover, and let sit out overnight. In the morning you've got fully cooked oatmeal!

    For a fun flavor twist, try my Overnight Apple Steel Cut Oatmeal.

    You can also make steel cut oatmeal in the slow cooker by cooking on low heat for 7-8 hours. Give my Crockpot Blueberry Steel Cut Oatmeal a whirl!

    Is overnight oatmeal healthy?

    Yes, quite. This Registered Dietitian loves that recipes with steel cut oats are crazy good for ya!

    While all oatmeal types boast the same nutrition facts, steel cut oats are the least processed oat. They're cut with a blade and thus take longer to cook than rolled oats, which are steamed and flattened.

    The key to maximizing the healthfulness of oats is balancing oats with fat and protein to stabilize blood sugar and keep you fuller longer. Add nut butter or hemp seeds, butter, avocado (love savory oatmeal!), or pair with scrambled eggs for a balanced meal.

    More health benefits:

    • They have a lower glycemic response than quick cooking or instant oats, meaning your blood sugar won't spike as quickly.
    • They're high in a fiber called Beta-glucan, which has well-studied cholesterol-lowering and anti-diabetic effects.
    • They can help lower cholesterol.

    Flavor variations

    • Chunky monkey: Top with peanut butter or walnuts, banana, and chocolate chips.
    • Berry almond: Fresh or frozen blueberries, raspberries, strawberries or blackberries with a splash of almond extract maple syrup, and chopped toasted almonds.
    • Carrot cake: Stir in grated carrot (or try zucchini!), cinnamon, almond butter, pecans, nutmeg and vanilla.
    • Peach tahini: It may sound funky, but fresh peaches with tahini and sea salt is a go-to for me!
    • Caramel apple: Add a pat of butter, brown sugar or maple syrup, and chopped apple.

    How long does it need to sit?

    Let oats sit for at least 6 hours, but ideally 8 hours to ensure they're fully cooked and tender. And yes, it is safe to leave the oatmeal overnight! Trust me, I've made this recipe a thousand times.

    How long will it keep?

    You can store leftovers in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. This recipe yields a lot--6 large or 8 smaller servings, so you could even cut the recipe in half.

    You can eat these hot or cold! To reheat, simply mix your desired portion of steel cut oats with a little water or milk (optional) and warm it in the microwave or on the stove.

    Can you freeze oatmeal?

    Yes! You can freeze in pre-portioned containers for busy mornings and transfer them to the refrigerator the night before so they're ready to go in the morning.

    You could also freeze flat in a large freezer baggie for up to 3 months.

      Both Bill and I absolutely love this!!! This is such a staple recipe for us - it's honestly the easiest way of making steel cut oats and bonus... waking up to a delish smell of breakfast all ready to go in the morning with literally zero prep time the night before! 🙂 Also love that we can just make this one big ol pot and that we can make different versions from there so it never gets boring! One of your many gems girl! Love your ideas for combos, too!! Can guarantee Bill is going to want to try Caramel Apple next and I'm pretty sure he'll add on heaping amounts of cookie butter LOL.

      I use this recipe for breakfast meal prep ALL. THE. TIME. I do half alt milk (I've tried almond and oat) and half water and it always turns out great. Sometimes I add a dash of vanilla, and sometimes I keep them a blank slate for the toppings to shine! I usually do half the recipe for one week of breakfasts, but sometimes I'll make the whole thing and freeze it in portions as suggested, which works great too. This has become a staple recipe for me!

      I've always been skeptical of the overnight oat trend - I'm so glad I gave this recipe a go! I far prefer this preparation method to the cold, soggy no-cook overnight alternative. These oats are creamy, hearty, satisfying, and absolutely delicious. I'm on day 4 of leftovers and still not sick of them - officially an overnight oat convert 🙂

      This has been my “go-to” breakfast for the fall! I make up a batch on Sunday night while washing up the dinner dishes and we have breakfast for the week. I much prefer this overnight oat recipe to those that don’t cook the oats. I use macadamia nut milk instead, which makes a very creamy oatmeal for those of us who can’t eat dairy.

      I recently bought some steel cut oats but they only had “quick cook” which I believe is cut finer than the regular version? Any thoughts on cooking that overnight vs the package recommendation (under 10 minutes either as microwave or stovetop)? I’ll definitly try this recipe when I get regular steel cut oats. Thanks!

        OMG! You wrote back!! It's awesome that you care about your fans! I made your Fluffy Vegan Pancakes for breakfast this morning. I was so proud that I incorporated peanut butter- one of my fear foods - into the recipe, and I'm glad I did - it was delish!
        This probably sounds like a bit much, but you literally changed my life. Two summers ago, I decided I wanted to get "skinny" for the upcoming year. I counted calories and restricted myself to 1200 a day. I joined a gym and compulsively overexercised. I began to fear foods like oils, nut butter, bread, pasta. . . I was always thinking about food, looking up high-calorie recipes but never actually eating them. . . I was literally headed for a full-on eating disorder. When I found you online, I was literally shocked of a confident, happy woman who embraced all different types of food. Slowly, I began to embrace the idea. I can't say I'm perfect -- I definitely mentally track calories most days, but now I'm beginning to realize that food really IS just food. I also realize how saddening it is how enmeshed in diet culture I was at age 12! (I read a lot about the topic online). You've inspired me to become an RD one day. I just subscribed to your blog (before, I just checked it, but I'd like to support your blog in any way possible). Thank you so much for all you do for the girls and women who read your blog. (My twin sister has been through my disordered eating struggle with me, too, and we love to make your recipes together.) Here's to all different types of food, from kale (love it!) to cookie dough ice cream (love it too!)

      Yay! They're nothing like typical overnight oats because they're cooked, not raw. Way better in my opinion!

      Thanks for posting this! I saw it on your stories and wanted to make it but then I forgot what you did haha. I have never done overnight oats because I reallyyyyy struggle with the thought of eating cold oats, so the fact that you heat this up again in the morning is a major selling point for me! Can't wait to give this a try!

      I honestly had given up on cooking steel cut oats just because of the time! I cannot wait to try this method; thanks for sharing! BTW, team Aldi all the way 🙂

      How do you portion it out in the morning? Just wondering what the serving size of the cooked oats is? I'm the same way with PB vs almond butter as a topper. Almond butter only on oats, PB for sandwiches 🙂

        The serving depends on the person—I fill my bowl and eat till I’m full 🙂

      Do you think it is safe to keep this on the stove overnight if I use homemade almond milk that has no preservatives?

      I rarely cook my oats overnight, mostly I just cook them in a rush in the morning (if I even do, since I'm always so last minute!). This recipe would be a nice change to help with my time in the morning! 🙂
