McCann's Irish Oatmeal, Traditional Steel Cut Oats, 28 Ounce Bag

Although this oat meal is pricey, it is the best quality and worth every penny! It is smooth and the healthiest of all oat meal!

Ah, McCann’s Irish Traditional Steel Cut Oatmeal—the breakfast of champions, philosophers, and those with an abundance of free time. In a world filled with instant gratification and oatmeal that’s ready in 90 seconds, McCann’s boldly challenges you to earn your breakfast, one painstakingly long-simmered bite at a time.From the moment you open the tin, you know you’re in for something special. These oats are not for the faint of heart. No, they require patience, fortitude, and perhaps a minor existential crisis while you watch them cook for 30 to 40 minutes. By the time they’re ready, you’ll have completed a full morning’s worth of soul-searching, planned your entire week, and questioned all your life choices. But the payoff? Oh, the payoff!McCann’s doesn’t just nourish your body—it forges your spirit. Each spoonful is a textural masterpiece, the chewy steel-cut oats offering the kind of resistance you just don’t get with those spineless, mushy rolled oats. The flavor is pure, earthy, and unapologetically oaty, making you feel as if you’ve been transported to the rolling green hills of Ireland, where a hearty breakfast is the only thing standing between you and the elements.And let’s talk about versatility! Add honey, nuts, fruit, or even a splash of whiskey if you’re truly embracing your inner Irish poet. However you dress it up, McCann’s delivers a breakfast experience that is as much a lesson in patience as it is in nourishment.So, if you’re looking for a bowl of oats that will toughen you up, make you appreciate the passage of time, and remind you that good things come to those who wait—McCann’s is for you. And if you’re in a rush? Well…there’s always instant oatmeal, but where’s the dignity in that?

It takes a half hour to cook but it is definitely worth it. Soooo much tastier than rolled or instant oatmeal. I make extra and microwave it the next few days. It keeps in the fridge just fine. This is more economical than buying in the can so I use it to refill the can. I add cinnamon, cut up apples and raisins as it’s cooking. Add milk and a drop of maple syrup before eating. Yum.

Not Gluten-free! I did a search on Amazon for gluten-free steel-cut oats. I have a true allergy to gluten. It makes me itch non-stop. Amazon, in all their wisdom, featured this item at the top of the listings, and shame on me for trusting them and not verifying as I should have. It’s a delicious product. Exactly what I wanted, but it will make me itch. Can’t wait. Shame on you, Amazon. If I search for gluten-free, trust I have a valid reason and do NOT feature items outside that designation.One star for Amazon, 5 stars for McCann and their delicious oatmeal.

Love these oats….my favorite now!

the Irish make excellent oatmeal products

Good and healthy nice package easy toCook

I’m glad I found this packaging option. I’ve been eating mccann’s for years, but prices have steadily risen. The soft bag is great but luckily I still have the empty can from the previous order, so the oats go into that from the bag.
