. .I've adjusted the recipe further for this coming weekend at camp, by packing real steel cut oats instead of the instant. It'll take longer to cook, but I like the chewyness and the instant version is too mushy,
I have never had instant steel cut oats, so I wondered about the texture but didn't want to ask. I get the same result with instant rolled oats, and even worse with the little instant single-serve packages. Those are perfect for a food fight, but for eating, not so much.
I'm a big fan of steel cut (or Irish) oats for breakfast. I use the ancient Celtic recipe...get out of bed, put on the oats, boil until lunch time.
