Butter or lightly oil your slow cooker before adding the oats and it won't stick to the side of the crock pot as much. I find it only does that when you make them overnight and don't have a chance to stir (who wakes up in the middle of the night to stir? lol).
Thanks for the recipe, I will have to try it! I make steel cut oats all the time (had them this morning in fact)
My favorite recipe using steel cut oats

I'm eating this right now! I made it last night and viola, the kiddos had hot, protein filled oatmeal before they went off to school this morning and I had breakfast ready to go. This is my first experience with steel cut oats. YUMMY!
(I did add some almond milk & brown sugar to my bowl).0 -
grocery list this weekend. I've been having a half cup of old fashioned oats in the morning with my cereal, this sounds good and different. Also love my crock pot. Just may get the wife to try some as well, but that may be a stretch.0

Has anyone tried making this with milk or almond milk instead of water. And also, crockpot liners are the way to go!0

I make mine like this too. I throw in some dried cranberries and a bit of agave nectar (along with some vanilla and cinnamon) to go with it. In the mornings, I splash in some milk and about 10 raw almonds. It's soooo good!0

Steel cut oats are not the same as oat bran. Oat bran is much more refined than the steel cut oats. The long cook time is what has steered me away from the steel cut oats, but this way the crock pot takes care of that!Would oat bran be the same thing?0

I made this last night:
1/2 cup Steel Oats
1 tbsp Cinnamon
1 cup Milk
2 cups water
24 Almonds
Low heat in crockpot for 8 hours..and voila!
It was awesome and tons healthier than quick oats. I'm going to play around with some different varieties..0 -
Sounds great! Just wondering though...I'm cooking for one.....can you freeze and reheat cooked oatmeal??0

I'm not sure about freezing. But I put all the leftovers in the fridge. I'm going to eat some tomorrow for breakfast, I'll let you know how that goes.0 -
bump until I can figure out how to print the recipes.0

I didn't freeze mine, but refrigerated the leftovers...warmed it in the microwave the next morning and added some almond milk. Very tastey!0

Mmm.. just fell in love with overnight breakfasts! So much better than cold cereal. I like using half oats, half barley. The barley gives it more texture.
As for the sticking what I do is empty the crock after eating and fill it with water past the food line. Let it sit (turned off) for a while (usually until I get home so that's all day) and it's unstuck!0 -
I LOVE OATS! But instead of cooking them overnight I soak them.
The first 3 ingredients are your base - for there the possibilites are endless
1/2 cup oats (smaller appetites use 1/3 cup)
1.5 tbs Chia Seeds (Ground flax can be used instead) (if using 1/3 cup use 1TBS)
3/4 cup milk of your choice (if 1/3 cup oats use 2/3 cup milk)
For Pumpkin Pie Oats: (This is the flavor oats, mix with the base)
2 tsp agave nectar
1/3 cup pumpkin, organic canned
1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
Other examples:
chocolate flavored protein powder + 1/2 mashed banana
Toppings - added in the morning:
For Pumpkin Pie:
Walnuts, small handful, crushed
Coconut, dried unsweetened: several pinches
Golden Raisins, small handful
Other ideas:
peanut butter
fresh chopped fruit (cherry goes great w/ chocolate protein powder + 1/2 mashed banana)
Mix oats, chia seeds, milk + flavor ingredients in a container or bowl. Cover and refridgerate overnight. The next morning when you are ready to eat your oats add you toppings. Stir well and enjoy!0
