Overnight oatmeal has become a popular choice for busy individuals who want a quick and nutritious breakfast. The beauty of this recipe is that it requires minimal effort and can be prepared the night before, allowing you to start your day with a healthy meal without sacrificing time. The base of the recipe is steel cut oats, which are a healthier option than instant oats as they are less processed and offer a chewier texture.

2.	Add the steel cut oats, reduce heat to low and let it simmer for 1 minute.
3.	Turn off the heat, cover the pot, and leave it on the stove overnight.
