Steel Cut Oatmeal

4 1/2 cups steel cut oats (regular rolled oats will work too)

4 1/2 cups water (enough to just cover the oats)

3 TBSP whey (or yogurt)

3-4 TBSP ground almonds (or other nuts)

Combine ingredients in a glass container, then cover.  Let sit at room temperature for 12-24 hours.

On the stovetop, heat 3 3/4 cups of water to boiling, and stir in soaked oatmeal mixture.  Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring to keep it from sticking to the pot, until it is the desired consistency.  Top with a little bit of real maple syrup and milk and serve.

*Makes a LOT of oatmeal; we eat half of it for breakfast one day, and save enough left-overs to make Fried Oatmeal the next morning.
