You can portion it out into a mini muffin pan and freeze. Now, you have individual servings that heat up in two minutes.
Brilliant! I like adding cinnamon instead of sugar, and/or various dried fruits.0 -

Dinosaur egg oatmeal! It's made by Quaker.
i used to love this as a kid haha0 -
Psst ... you can cook single servings of instant, rolled AND steel cut oatmeal in the microwave. The first you cook for a minute or so on 100%. The second takes about 5-10 min at 30-40% (depends on thick the oats are), and the third takes 15-20 min at 30%.
Useful info for when you don't want to dirty a pan. Once you're done it in a particular microwave once, there's no need to monitor or stir the oatmeal in the microwave either.0 -
I like instant steel cut. I'm lazy in the morning so I add boiling water at night and snap a tight lid on. This cooks it about half way.
Lately I've been eating "pumpkin pie oatmeal." Take a 15 oz can of pumpkin puree.....add sweetener, cinnamon & salt. Portion out (8 servings) and freeze. Muffin tins - great idea!
In the a.m. I add the "thawed" pumpkin to my half cooked oats & cook 2;30 minutes. I like to stir in a Tbl. of Coffee Mate Pumpkin Spice creamer.....nice and creamy (totally optional though).0 -

Here is my recipe:
1 1/2cups steel cut oats
3 cups water
2 apples chopped
1 cup milk
1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
1/2 cups dried cranberries
1 tsp sea salt
1 tsp cinnamon
I cook it on the brown rice setting. Some cookers have a porridge setting which works too. Spray a mini loaf pan with Pam to prevent sticking. Scoop portions into the pan. Freeze. I add a little extra milk and a touch of honey after I heat mine up.
boy does my tummy hurt right now, this turned out so good that i over ate!!
found some cinnamon sugar so i used that for the cinnamon (i could taste that real cinnamon definitely would of been better) and i half the cranberries and added currants for its other half.. found i needed to add a little sweetness for my tastebuds and 1/4cp of warmed milk to the extra large serving i took to make it creamier cause my rice cooker dried up the mixture a little bit but, overall i really enjoyed your recipe and its going to become my new go to oatmeal for sure.. thanks again for sharing it.0 -

I'm so glad you liked it! Next time you make it, add a bit more milk to the cooker if yours came out too thick.0 -
I'm learning to like oatmeal - I'm having it every morning. At the office cafeteria, I take what I can get. At home on the weekends I do this:
1/4 cup of Better Oats Steel Cut Oats:
in a saute pan. Toss in a generous smattering of pretty much equal parts ground cinnamon and ground ginger. A tiny bit of light brown sugar. If I feel like it, about half a teaspoon of Dutch-processed dark chocolate.
Toast everything till you can smell the spices. Then add around a cup of water. It'll bubble up immediately.
Cook until the water's mostly absorbed - I'm not a huge fan of "gloppy" textures and this renders a more solidified helping. Cooks up fast, too.0 -

Coach's Instant Steel Cut Oats come already toasted.....it really helps the flavor.0 -
Love oatmeal. I cook mine in water (if it's cooked till properly creamy, to me it tastes as nice as when cooked in milk). A tiny pinch of salt makes it even better. I vary my toppings, but some of my recent ones include:
- whey protein, to increase the protein content of the breakfast. I can't really taste it.
- Skinny syrup, white chocolate flavour (flavoured artificial sweetener - it's nice, but a bit overpowering)
- A bit of peanut powder with a bit of cocoa or hot chocolate powder - makes it like Reece's pieces
- Any dried fruit I can find
- Cinnamon
If I also have something else for breakfast, like an egg, I'll have 30-40g of oatmeal. If it's my only breakfast, I'll have about 60g.0 -
120 grams of oats, 30 grams of dark brown sugar, and however much ground cinnamon looks good. Simmer in two cups of water for five minutes while I feed and water the dogs. It keeps me full for a couple of hours.0

Love oatmeal, we eat it for supper some nights. I take a half of Apple , slice it and sprinkle with cinnamon and splenda brown sugar and microwave for a minute or two. Then add in oatmeal and a little more brown sugar if needed. Sometimes I add a few chopped up pecans. Yummy

I make my oatmeal in the microwave. Half a cup old fashioned oats and water with a pinch of salt. When done, add 2tbs unsweetened coconut cream (canned) and a dash of cinnamon. It's the bomb.0

Steel cut oatmeal with some coconut oil as a base and toss in some blue berries or sliced strawberries
Or both!
Sugar free cool whip spray can. Pack of stevia.
If feels so right it should be be wrong.... But it is actually super healthy.
