This was very good and the blueberry compote was absolutely delicious. I followed the recipe but had to add a bit of brown sugar to my serving since our blueberries were very tart. Will definitely make again.

I'm always looking for new and interesting ways to serve oatmeal, and this recipe did not disappoint. I substituted dried orange zest for the lemon because I didn't have a zester on hand, but otherwise I followed the recipe. I really like the idea of starting the steel-cut oats the night before, because then breakfast can be on the table fast the next morning. I plan to use this method often for preparing steel-cut oats. And the blueberry compote was divine - reminiscent of blueberry pie but without the guilt.

I just made this and it is excellent. I used a frozen mixed berry combo and used grated orange zest from my spices since I did not have a lemon on hand. Really delicious and a nice way to start the morning.
