I make slow cooker steel cut oats all the time... it's one of my favourite breakfasts. Invest in a small 1.5 quart crock pot - they're only around $10 at Walmart - a perfect size!!


---Slow Cooker Steel Cut Oats---

1/2 cup steel cut oats, dry
2 cups water

Spray slow cooker lightly with cooking spray. Add oats and water. Put slow cooker on low for 6-8 hours. Oats will be ready by morning! When it's done, I mix in frozen blueberries or sliced banana and walnuts, and sweeten it with a bit of agave nectar. Delish! (Makes 2 good-sized portions.)

This is my Tweaked recipe from one I found on "The Yummy Life" web site.

Ingredients
• 1/4 cup uncooked old fashioned oats
• 1/3 cup Protein Drink
• 1/4 cup CarbMaster Yogurt
• 1-1/2 teaspoons dried chia seeds
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 to 1/3 cup raspberries (cut each berry in half), or enough to fill jar . Or any fruit to match yogurt
• Optional add nuts to add protein.



So what I do is:

Mix the 1/4 cup uncooked oatmeal, the 1/3 cup Protien Drink, the 1/4 cup CarbMaster yogurt, 1-1/2 chia seeds, 1/4 exract (flavor of choice) in the container of choice, I stir NOT shake, (the first time I tried it my lid was not sealed WHAT a mess lol), Then top with the 1/4 cup Fruit (of choice) and nuts (optional). Nuts were not figured in the nutritional data.

I made a overnight oatmeal last night..It's different but I do like them.. I think I will try it with Greek Yoguart next time.. Not something I will make all the time but it's something different.. Thanks for the suggestion

my recent fave...

1/2 cup old fashioned large flake oats
1/2 cup almond milk
1/2 cup vanilla greek yogurt
chia seeds
pumpkin pie spice
nutmeg
2 tsp brown sugar - optional
*sometimes I'll add add 1/4 cup pure pumpkin (NOT pie filling)

then in the morning top it off with half a banana & some chopped walnuts

I have plain instant oatmeal frequently along with a little rice milk and sometimes fruit and/or nuts added.

I don't think I would like cold oatmeal, regular or instant.

Are people doing this to save money by buying regular (non-instant) oatmeal, or is there some other health benefit that I'm not getting from this thread?

The Greek yogurt adds in a good amount of protein.

It's really a time saving measure rather than any health benefits. Plus in the summer, its nice not to have a hot oatmeal.

I've just recently fallen in love with this idea. Try the Yummy Life blog! All kinds of good recipes! So far, we've made Cherry-Chocolate Chunk and Blackberry-Vanilla. YUM!

Made some overnight oatmeal a month ago....I personally thought it was horrible. It was like cold wet paste and I love oatmeal. I thought this was going to be a recipe to add to my fast-on-the-go breakfast options. Should I have heated it up or do you eat it cold?

Heat it up.

Here is my recipe (per serving):

1/4 cup rolled oats
1/4 plain yogurt
1/4 cup skim milk
1 tsp. chia seeds (optional - if not, use little less milk)
2 tsp. sugar free pancake syrup (or 2 pks of Splenda)

Mix or shake well, then add flavors:

Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal:
1/4 cup pureed pumpkin
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
Stir into ingredients above
Sprinkle with walnuts (optional)

Blueberry Maple
1/2 cup blueberries
Increase pancake syrup to 2 TB

Peach/Honey
1/4 cup chopped peaches
1 teaspoon honey


Also, I add my sweeteners and fruits when I make the oatmeal, because I like the flavors to blend. If you don't use bananas, it lasts 4-5 days. Bananas, I do add same day. Another good variation is to add 2T cocoa powder.

I use sugar free syrup too! A little cinnamon with some craisins. I sometimes add pecans in the morning.
