Steel Cut Oatmeal Recipies

Love this! Put everything in the crock pot the night before and in the morning it is ready This comes from a site The Yummy Life - they had some other good recipes on there as well.


Slow Cooker, Apple Cinnamon Steel-Cut Oatmeal
By Monica Servings: 7 (3/4-cup) servings
Ingredients
2 apples, peeled, cored, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (2-1/2 to 3 cups chopped)
1-1/2 cups fat-free milk
1-1/2 cups water
1 cup uncooked steel-cut oats
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1-1/2 tablespoons butter, cut into 5-6 pieces (optional)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon ground flax seed
1/4 teaspoon salt
Optional garnishes: chopped nuts, raisins, maple syrup, additional milk or butter
Directions
Coat inside of 3-1/2 quart (or larger) slow cooker with cooking spray. Add all ingredients (except optional toppings) to slow cooker. Stir, cover, and cook on low for 7 hours. Spoon oatmeal into bowls; add optional toppings, if desired. 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. 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.

The crockpot way is good. Add anything you like to it.

Glad to see someone mention to spray it first. lol. I learned the hard way.

I soaked them overnight in unsweetened vanilla almond milk and added half a banana and half a tablespoon of raw almond butter and it was yummy!

I literally have my crock pot going with a similar oatmeal recipe and it didn't call for spraying first and I didn't think of it until after the fact. REGRET!

Almond Joy Oatmeal (If you like coconut)

1/2 oats
3/4 almond milk
1 Tbsp. Hershey's unsweetened cocoa powder (you could probably just use your protein powder instead)
1 Tbsp. sweetened coconut
1 Tbsp. sliced almonds
1 tsp. splenda

I mix it all together minus the almonds and put it in the microwave for 4 minutes. When it's finished I stir in the almonds and sometimes add a little more milk. Yum!

So, when you guys are making these oats in the crock pot and you eat your serving, do you put the other in the fridge? Freeze it? or what? We love oats, but there are only 2 of us.

It will stay good in the fridge for a few days. I use a small crock to make mine. It will last me a week if I eat it every day.
