Overnight Steel Cut Oats

This is how I always make my steel cut oats. Soaking them overnight allows the enzyme and inhibitors and phytates to be deactivated and allows for greater nutrient absorption. It also allows for a quicker cooking time. To learn more about soaking grains nuts and seeds check out this article: Why and How You Should Soak Your Beans, Nuts, Seeds, and Grains
