Snow day Picnic ( Quick steelcut oats)

Steel Cut Oatmeal
The girls had a snow day least week so I bundled up the girls and sent them outside. After they played for a bit we cleared off the picnic table and had breakfast outside.
To save time on cooking the oats boil 4 cups of water and stir the oats in and cooked them for minute. After a minute, turn off the heat and cover the pot with a lid. Leave overnight. In the morning bring to a boil and cook until tender about 8-10 minutes. I do sometimes need to add water.
I cooked these oats with two cinnamon sticks.
*Now I just put the oats in my rice cooker with the water and spices and turn it on for regular white rice. If I make it the night before I set the timer for 8 hours and in the morning it's ready for the girls to get up and serve themselves. SO easy.
