This steel cut oatmeal recipe comes from the Idiot’s Guide to Total Nutrition Cooking. The author recommends the use of soymilk, however, soymilk tends to curdle when boiled. I made this recipe with unsweetened almond milk and the results were tasty. You may need to add more water to avoid sticking.
