CYT: Overnight Oatmeal

3 cups water
1 1/3 cups steel-cut oats, preferably McCann's
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons dried fruit or 1/4 cup fresh berries
1/4 cup skim milk
2 tablespoons light brown sugar or pure maple syrup

Combine the water and oats in a medium saucepan, cover, and leave out overnight

In the morning, add salt and bring to a boil. Partially cover and cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until oatmeal is creamy but still chewy. Add dried or fresh fruit and milk for the last minute of cooking. Stir in brown sugar or maple syrup and serve.
