I always have issues getting steel cut oats to cook right. I'm not so good with a stove.
Any who in my pinning yesterday I stumbled upon a crock pot steel cut oat recipe.
1 cup steel cut or regular oats (NOT Quick Oats!)
4 cups water
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 TBS butter
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp cinnamon
Combine all in crockpot and cook on low for 8hrs. Serve with milk & cinnamon sugar.
Variations:
Add up to 1 C raisins/dried fruit before cooking.
Add 1 chopped fresh apple before cooking.
Top with fresh fruit (in season) or canned fruit (drained).
Add a pat of butter or a dollop of jam/preserves.
Drizzle with honey.
I omitted the butter. It was amazingly good. I am starting the 30 day challenge this week and plan on making it again but omitting the brown sugar. I did some searches and found that grade b pure maple syrup is a good sub for brown sugar. I also chopped up an apple into it.

Sounds amazing. Is this for 1 serving?0

Molasses might be good too! I like Agave also.0

That looks really great!
Have you tried overnight oats? That's a really simple, easy way to go too.0 -
Might try this... I skip steel cut oats some mornings because I don't have the time to wait for them to cook. I keep meaning to just cook some up to reheat in the mornings, but I forget by the time dinner is cooked, eaten, and cleaned up after. But I'll have to find a smaller crock pot first! My regular one is HUGE!0

Personally I like to have some kind of nut butter and a little unsweeteened cocoa powder (or chocolate protein powder) with my oats...it's to die for. Oh and I will sometimes add a banana or walnuts as well. I eat oats at least 5 times a week, it's probably one of my favorite foods.0

Sounds great! I love oatmeal. I've cooked the steel cut oats before on the stove, but added some extra water and extended the cooking time. They do take a long time to cook. Using my slow cooker, I could put that recipe on at night and have it in the morning.0

Would be very interested to know the serving size of the recipe? Was it for just one serving?0
-
I'm not the OP, but I think that would be 4 servings since one serving of steel cut oats is 1/4 c dry.0

Looks more like 4 servings to me.0

I love steel cut oats! My crockpot is in use right now (vegetable stew) or else I would be trying this out tonight. Thanks for sharing the recipe! Also, I have subbed maple syrup and it works great!0

I have a 7 grain oat mix and 1/3 cup dry is a serving size. I would count this recipe as 3 servings. I always cook it on the stove, (dad taught me this as he made it when I was a kid).0

I live in Southern California and we have a chain of stores called Trader Joe's. They put out quick cook steel cut oatmeal. It is NOT instant oatmeal. Cook it like this: bring 3/4 cup water to a boil. Add 1/4 cup steel cut oats. Turn flame down as low as it goes. Set times for 7 minutes. Stir oats occasionally. In 7 minutes it is done. I add some chopped pecans to it and just a but of salt for more flavor.
It is delicious.

sounds good! watch our for maple syrup though, tends to be high in carbs, calories, and sugar.0

I eat them most mornings. I make enough for the week, then heat up single, one cup servings.0
