Ingredients

Oats:

  • 4 cups water
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup steel-cut oats
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 3 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar

Berry Compote:

  • 3 cups mixed berries
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar

Instructions

To make the porridge:

  • In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil Add the salt and stir in the oats and cinnamon. Reduce heat to a simmer over medium low heat and cook undisturbed until the oats are tender and water has been absorbed, about 40 minutes.

To make the Berry Compote:

  • While the oats are simmering, place the mixed berries in another saucepan with the 3 tablespoons granulated sugar over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the berries are tender, 8-9 minutes (a little longer for frozen).
  • Remove the oats from heat and stir in the milk, heavy cream, and brown sugar. Divide among serving bowls and top with the warm berry compote. Serve immediately.
