I haven't had much lock with the crock pot version of steel-cut oatmeal :-( My recommendation - make a BIG pot in the traditional way, and just keep it in the fridge.
I love to add stewed fruit (apples, pears), some frozen blueberries, and cinnamon, brown sugar to my oatmeal.
mmmmm - sounds so good I am going to make some tomorrow for sure!0 -
my recommendation - found at the store the other day.
"Better Oats, Oat Revolution". Comes in a tall skinny box and flavors similar to Quaker, fruit and cream, or apple-cinnamon, etc. A box of 5 was $1 on sale, but reg. price was less than $1.50. This puts it on par with Quaker's price, but made with less processing, all natural, and even contains flax. Kids and I enjoyed it this morning! Found other interesting flavors such as dark chocolate.0 -

This is my absolute favorite. Calories are in the MFP database and are correct, as long as you make it as is.

2 apples, peeled cored and chopped
1 1/2 cup fat free milk
1 1/2 cup water
1 cup steel cut oats
2 Tbsp brown sugar
... 1 1/2 Tbsp butter, cut up onto 5-6 pieces
1/2-1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
Coat the inside of the Crockpot with cooking spray. Add all ingredients and stir. Cover and cook on low for 7 hours.
I add some chopped walnuts and lo cal, sugar free maple syrup once its done and I'm ready to eat it.
Makes 5 1-cup servings...and freezes well. When reheating, add 1/3 cup milk and heat for a minute, stir, and heat 1 more min until hot.
This is the recipe that my BFF uses when she makes hers for us....... DELISH!!!0 -
I would recommend just making a pot of it instead of in the crockpot. I made a simple recipe of steel cut oats, cinnamon, etc in the crockpot. It smelled amazing while cooking, but it tends to get hard (and mushy) over the next few days in the fridge...and not so flavorful. However, when I make a pot of it on Sunday, it tastes yummy when you heat them back up. Then I add things to add flavor like a few walnuts, bananas, or raisins. Very yummy that way.0

I use these 2 sites a lot when if comes to steel cut oats and crock pots.

I also portion the steel cut oats out into microwavable containers, like the ziplock bowels, and then freeze them. Hope it helps.0 -
Sean,
My boyfriend and I team up and make a few foods (from scratch) that hold us over for a few days.
1. We boil up a package of brown rice past ( it actually tastes REALLY good) and saute up some fresh veggies (onion, yellow and green squash, mushrooms, asparagus and red bell pepper) in olive oil. Top off with Hunts crusher tomatoes. If you take the extra time to measured out your portions, it will last about a week. FYI 1 cup of each, this is a big portion is about 500 cal.
2. White bean chili, you can find a good recipe on line, made in the crock pot is about 300 cal/cup serve on top of 1 cup brown rice (200 cal) is really good and lasts about a week for two people. My recipe makes 15 cups so you can always freeze half of the chili and thaw later.
Good Luck!0 -
Newer crock pots cook hotter than the old ones and you can end up with a burned mess in some of the hot spots.
For easier clean up, you can use a water bath in your crock pot:
Put ingredients in a pyrex bowl or other heat-safe container that will fit in your crock pot with the lid on.
Put several inches of water in your crock pot.
Put a couple balls of bunched up tin foil in the bottom of the crock pot.
Balance the glass bowl on the tin foil. The foil keeps either the bowl or the crock pot liner from cracking. I don't remember which one.
Cover and cook as directed. The oats will be creamy with no burned spots.0 -
I tried the steel cut oats in the crock pot last week and ate it for breakfast everyday last week! I loved it and it was so easy to scoop out 1 cup and go. I used
1 cup steel cut oats
4 cups water
1 diced up apple
cinnamon
nutmeg
set the slow cooker to low and cooked for 7 hours. I would recommend spraying the crock pot first because some of mine did stick to the sides but other than that I loved it!!
I am going to try the pumpkin one tonight!!! That sounds amazing!0 -
The pumpkin oats sound awesome. I'm going to make them for brekkie tomorrow!:happy:0

I second these - I like the cinnamon plum spiced and the dark chocolate best options too..0 -
I made the pumpkin oats this morning. Quite good. However, I think next time I'll add a little allspice to it as well.0
