Steel-cut oats and barley soak up water overnight so they're ready to go in the morning. Use a big bowl because the grains will expand.

    Delicious. A hit in our house, just as it is.

    What an easy way to fix steel cut oats, which otherwise can be a bit time consuming in the morning. You can really use any sweetener, keep or eliminate the nuts, and add any fruit you feel like. The important part here is the method of soaking and cooking. I find this amount to be too much, though, and am happier with about half of it.

    My first time trying steel cut outs, and I loved the chewiness! My 11 year old son asked me to make this recipe again and he hates barley. I had to microwave it longer than recipe states, but I kept on adding 1 min here and there til I felt most of the liquid absorbed. Will add fig preserves next time instead of honey.

    Excellent. I love oatmeal and this is a great variation. It's about to become my new favorite carry-to-work lunch!

    I made this for my husband and I and it was a hit. The only problem was that I used wheat berries instead of barley, and they didn't completely soften overnight. I am going to try it again with the barley, and hopefully that will work better. However the flavor combinations were great, and it couldn't be easier.
