Ingredients

5 servings

1 tbsp unsalted butter
Ingredient note
Though high-fat foods can worsen reflux, this recipe has only a small amount of butter (~2/3 teaspoon per serving), making it likely fine for many with GERD. If you prefer to always avoid butter, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
2 cups steel-cut oats
6 cups water
1 cup whole milk
½ tsp fine salt
2 tbsp pure maple syrup
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp pure vanilla extract

For reheating

2–3 tbsp additional milk or water per serving, for reheating

Instructions

1
Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat until foamy. Add the steel-cut oats and stir to coat, toasting for 2 minutes until they smell nutty and turn a shade darker.
2
Pour in the water and milk, then add the salt. Raise the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
