• Put oats, water and milk in a pot with 1/2 tsp salt. Bring to boil and then reduce to simmer. Let cook for about 15 minutes, stirring ocasionally until oats are soft.

  While the oats are cooking, zest and juice the two lemons. Don't skip the zest, it adds the main lemon flavor. If you don't have a zester, just use a grater. 

  Stir in 2 tsp lemon zest, and 3 tablespoons lemon juice and vanilla extract. Stir in 1/4 cup of sweetener, then more if necessary to reach desired sweetness. 
• Sprinkle with chia or poppyseeds, and serve with additional milk. 

Instant Pot directions:

• To cook steel cut oats in your instant pot, combine oats, water, milk and 1/2 tsp salt in the pot. Set it on high pressure and cook for 5 minutes. Let it naturally release. I've also let it cook for 8 minutes and done quick release. Both ways work. 

  Stir in lemon juice, lemon zest, sweetener and sprinkle each serving with poppy or chia seeds.
