    My latest addiction.

    Slow Cooker, Apple Cinnamon Steel-Cut Oatmeal

    2 apples, peeled, cored, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
    1-1/2 cups fat-free milk (or almond milk)
    1-1/2 cups water
    1 cup uncooked steel-cut oats
    2 tablespoons brown sugar (I use Splenda brown sugar)
    1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
    1 tablespoon ground flax seed

    Coat inside of 3-1/2 quart (or larger) slow cooker with cooking spray. Add all ingredients to slow cooker. Stir, cover, and cook on low for approx. 7 hours (slow cooker times can vary). Store leftovers in refrigerator. Freezes well.

    To reheat single servings: Put 1-cup cooked oatmeal in microwave proof bowl. Add 1/3 cup fat-free milk or water, microwave on high for 1 minute; stir. Continue cooking for another minute, or until hot.

    Recipe can be doubled in 6-quart or larger slow cooker. Increase cooking time 1 hour.

    Hi Everybody, just to clarify, any oats that are not a whole oat are usually 'steel cut' oats, what else would the miller cut them in to smaller pieces with. It's a bit of a 'marketing' term that sounds very technical but really, they are all steel cut.
    Hope that helps.
    I have also noticed that Morrisons's are selling Mornflake Oats for 60p! I always find these the creamiest. Also their equivalent microwave sachets I've noticed in Tesco at 2 for £3!!

    Steel cut vs rolled oats. They take longer to cook, and have a nutty texture. Also slower to digest and leave you feeling full longer and less likely to cause carb induced insulin spike.
