I was never an oatmeal kid growing up. Recently a friend got me hooked on steel cut oats and I'll never eat regular oatmeal again! This is my breakfast recipe which is really easy to make!
In a slow cooker first spray or wipe with olive oil.
Add 2 parts water with 1 part steel cut oats and a dash of cinnamon.
Turn cooker on low and let set over nite.
When water has been absorbed, bout 7-8 hours. serve.
I like to add honey, banana, natural peanut butter, and 1 scoop of my Chocolate Whey Protein.

    Let me know how you like it. The texture is way different than regular oatmeal. There's also tons of different options to add with it. I had to get my steel cut oats from a health food store. Hard to find in local small town grocery stores.

    This is great! Do you ever make a "big" batch and then re-heat during the week?? Or does it not hold well?

    I really like the Steel Cut Oats as well. I make mine in the crockpot overnight...mine calls for 1C of Oats to 4 Cups of water. Cook overnight and then serve. I portion mine out into single servings and freeze for easy grab in the morning breakfasts.

    FishnDad,
    I do add all those ingredients at once. Those have been my staples for many years now. It started as a pregame meal or quick snack on the go. I LOVE peanut butter, even tho it isn't exactly the healthiest food. I try to eat a spoonful of honey a day as well. Helps with sore throat and its a good natural source of sugar. And the banana, not a high source of potassium like commonly thought, goes great with tons of other foods, unlike other fruits.

    Kick,
    I do make a big batch at times, but my leftovers never last more than a day. I make it that good! hehe....
