Overnight Steel Cut Oats

milk, any kind you like (I use unsweetened almond milk)

honey or maple syrup

peanut butter or other nut butter of choice (optional but delicious)

uncooked steel cut oats (you can also use quick-cooking steel cut oats; the final oatmeal will have a softer, less chewy texture)

kosher salt

, or hemp seeds

Ground cinnamon

Citrus zest (I love orange zest with honey and cinnamon!)

Dried fruit (favorites: reduced-sugar dried cranberries, raisins, chopped dates)

Fresh or frozen and thawed fruit

Toasted almonds, walnuts, or pecans (add just before serving to maintain the most crunch)

An extra drizzle of honey or maple syrup
