Why This Recipe is Seed Oil Free

Instructions
Step 1. This product requires no preparation - it IS the finished product. Simply measure out 40g (about 1/3 cup) of organic steel-cut oats per serving using a kitchen scale for accuracy. Store the bulk oats in an airtight glass container or food-grade bucket to maintain freshness and prevent pest infiltration.
Step 2. For cooking: Bring 4 cups of filtered water to a boil, add 1 cup (120g) of steel-cut oats, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally until oats reach desired texture. Add sea salt to taste during cooking if desired.
Step 3. For enhanced nutrition, consider adding organic grass-fed butter, coconut oil, or ghee after cooking for healthy fats that support vitamin absorption. Raw honey, organic maple syrup, or organic berries can be added for natural sweetness and additional nutrients.
Step 4. Batch cooking tip: Prepare larger quantities on weekends and store cooked oats in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat portions with a splash of organic milk, coconut milk, or water.
Step 5. Quality check: Look for oats that are uniform in size, have a fresh oat aroma, and show no signs of rancidity or off-odors. Properly stored dry oats maintain quality for 12-18 months from purchase date.
Storage
Store in airtight container in cool, dry place for 12-18 months. Avoid exposure to heat, light, and moisture to prevent rancidity.
