"I tried to enhance the cholesterol fighting properties of oatmeal and also pack in a little extra protein with this recipe. The soy is the crumbly kind that people rehydrate and use for soy burgers etc. If you can only find oats that need 10-15 minutes cooking, add all the ingredients at once to the boiling water. Leftovers can be zapped in the microwave the next day."

ingredients

8 cups water
1 cup steel cut oats, long cooking
¹⁄₂ cup oat bran
¹⁄₂ cup soy crumbles
³⁄₄ cup dried cranberries
¹⁄₂ cup walnuts, chopped
1 teaspoon cinnamon

directions

Bring the water to a boil in a sauce pot and slowly stir in the steel cut oats.
Boil for about 5 minutes and turn the heat down to simmer. Don't cover the pot.
Cook for 15 minutes and then add the rest of the ingredients. Salt to taste (I don't use any).
Bring the pot back to a simmer.
Continue cooking for another 10 to 15 minutes.
Keep an eye on the pot, you may need to add a little more boiling water during the last few minutes of cooking.
