    I make my steel cut oats in the crockpot.

    1 c steel cut oats
    4-5 c water (I go closer to five)
    Pinch salt
    1/4 c brown sugar
    Maple flavoring

    Set it on low for 6ish hours. I usually stir halfway. You can spray the crock with nonstick spray or grease with butter to prevent sticking.

    I stir wild blueberries or walnuts into mine. Noms.

    Had my first OO this a.m. REALLY GOOD...and filling...and you don't have to cook anything in the morning! I just put 1/2 cup of oats, one little container of yogurt (I only had orange.... but bet vanilla, coffee, or cinnabon would be awesome) and 1/4 cup of milk in a small plastic container with a lid. It was goooooooooooooood. No fuss!

    Irish oatmeal is even more filling (I think) and I have it just about every morning.

    I call mine no bake oatmeal:

    1/2 Cup Oatmeal
    1/2 Cup Vanilla or Chocolate Almond Milk which ever
    1 Scoop chocolate protein powder I used Kroger light whey/soy so 1 scoop is 1/2 serving
    1 tbs PB2
    1 tsp of chia seeds helps with thickening.
    2 packets sweetener your choice I use Stevia or off brand of it.

    Sit in fridge over night stir eat tastes like no bake cookie. I like mine a little thick so I will adjust with a little more oats or a little more chia seeds. Thinner you can add more Almond milk.

    I find that oatmeal actually keeps me fuller longer, I eat mine with blueberries and a few walnuts. That goes best with the banana flavored packets.

    I use some kind of instant oatmeal from Trader Joe's, I don't like the ones with a lot of sugar or extra junk in them to start with.
    It says to add 1/2 cup water but I only use 1/3, and then I add a little individual packet of nuts and cranberrys (also from trader joes) or pecans, all crushed up. They tend to absorb any extra liquid. Then I put in about 1/2 cup of blueberries or more (a lot for that much oatmeal), and stir it all up. It's really really good that way. I hate mushy oatmeal. I also have another kind that doesn't have sugar in it, and to that one I add a little honey or brown sugar. I wanted to like oatmeal but it was always mushy and flavourless, but now I've finally found a way I like it.

    Seems like out of all the many breakfast combinations I have tried, so far, oatmeal seems to stick with me the longest.

    I have only had instant oatmeals.

    I have read posts from people talking about refrigerator oatmeal.

    Hit me with a recipe or two please... three... many....

    1 tablespoon natural jam or jelly
    Directions
    1. Combine oats and water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil.

    SNorris01 - good thinking on the protein powder! I'll have to try it. Right now I mix up my breakfast with some smoothie (w/protein powder) and half an oatmeal serving. Maybe in the winter months when ice cold smoothies won't do. Also, chia seeds are nice, too. I forgot about them because I usually use those in my salad (for lunch). But I bet they do the same thing as ground flax seed. Thanks for the post!
