Amazing! I make a batch every Sunday to last me thru the week! It's great to heat up - just add a little water if it's thick! I add apples and either a couple tablespoons of granola or pecans. This is probably my breakfast 5 days a week for the past year, and I don't grow tired of it

Excellent! Great taste and texture. I was a little nervous about the buttermilk but once again AB comes through for me!

I've been making this for about a year now. I double the recipe and heat a little in the microwave with a little milk each morning for a quick healthy and tasty breakfast. I toast my oats in coconut oil, add plenty of cinnamon and nutmeg at the end with a little vanilla, and serve with a little more milk, a sliced banana, a handful of toasted almonds and a little brown sugar on top. Delicioso!

5-stars as written. That being said, I do things a tiny bit different. I do not add buttermilk and only add 2 cups of milk. The reason being is that I store the oatmeal in the fridge for the whole week and it takes up less space and I add milk as I'm heating it up. That's just my preference though. I also add cinnamon and sugar or splenda at the same time. This way it's ready to go when I reheat it. I make 4 cups of steel-cut oats at one time and use 2 tsps of sugar. The way the recipe is written it would call for 4 tsps and that is WAY too much, I tried it and I do like salt. Great recipe, Alton, thank you. Enjoy :-

This came out very good. Even my youngest who hates oatmeal loved it and asked for more at lunch. I don't ever have buttermilk as most sold commercially aren't real anyway so I mixed half a cup of milk with a tablespoon of lemon juice and used that. I kept the heat really, really low after reading about people having issues with buning because my gas stove tends to burn things even on med and low. This resulted in about fifteen extra minutes of cooking, but was so worth it! Nothing burnt. Beautiful chewy texture. I didn't use brown sugar, but swirled a TBSP of maple syrup on top and topped with fresh blueberries and a sprinkle of cinnamon. YUM!

I love these we make them all the time, always turns out great, but does anyone know how to keep the bottom from burning if you can't stir it? Ours always seems to burn a whole layer on the bottom of the pot. I feel like I'm losing valuable oats! :-(

Delicious! This is such a great basic recipe that can be flavored in so many ways. Like some other reviewers noted, I toast the oats in a dry pan and replace the milk mixture with almond milk. I think I'll try using a combination of almond milk and greek yogurt next time I make this to mimic the tang of buttermilk.

Made this exactly as written, it turned out perfect! Love this recipe and will make it again. You can reheat in the microwave through out the week. I add fresh blue berries, yummy!

This is an excellent recipe! I was intrigued by the toasting of the oats in melted butter. I didn't have enough milk for the milk portion and the buttermilk (thanks to those below for the lemon juice info and all I had was skim. I did have some plain fat free greek yogurt though and used that in the same amount as the buttermilk, hoping it would help with the richness the whole milk should have imparted. I also added a 1/2 tsp of salt and 1 tsp of vanilla when adding the dairy (thanks to those who watched the video/made comments below. Overall, this turned out great! I had to take the lid off and let it simmer 10 more minutes to get it less "watery" as my husband likes a thick oatmeal (but I'm also now quadrupling the recipe. It is well worth the time as the leftovers keep for the week, and it's an easy breakfast during the work week, just add milk and into the micro we go. Next up, I'll try it in the rice cooker so it requires less monitoring.
