It is often best to pre-soak your oats, especially if you prefer unprocessed oat groats or minimally processed steel-cut oats.
Soaking softens the grain and makes them easier to cook. It can also change the texture profile of your breakfast – soaked oats are often fluffier and creamier than oats cooked from dry.
