Does anyone use a crockpot for making steel cut oats?

I tried steel cut in a crock pot (once) I'm sure I overcooked it. Reminds me ....I should try this again

Every Sunday I make a batch in my crockpot to eat all week long... I LOVE it!!

Here is my "basic" recipe starter - but I changed out a few things.. I eliminated the butter and vanilla, I use splenda and a dash of mollasses instead of brown sugar... I also play around with adding peanut butter, PB2 and bananas.. In any event - this will get you started:

I will have to try this - I've cooked it in my rice cooker, and it comes out great, but it makes a HUGE mess because it boils over every time!

I use the stove for steel cut oatmeal. Mix it 2:1 - water and/or milk to oatmeal. slow cook. I add some brown sugar, almonds, banana, etc. YUM!

I use this recipe from Hungry Girl:

ER SERVING (1 heaping cup): 249 calories, 4.5g fat, 320mg sodium, 52g carbs, 7.5g fiber, 26g sugars, 4.5g protein -- POINTS® value 5*



This sweet 'n satisfying dish is like the love child of gooey cinnamon apples and brown sugar oatmeal. It's perfect for breakfast, dessert, or snack time. Yay!!!



Ingredients: 8 cups chopped Fuji apples (about 6 apples)

2 tbsp. brown sugar (not packed), divided

1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon, divided

1 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats

1 cup light vanilla soymilk (we use plain almond milk; less calories too!)

1/3 cup sugar-free pancake syrup

1/2 tsp. salt

2 tbsp. light whipped butter or light buttery spread (like Brummel & Brown)



Directions:

In a large bowl, mix apples with 1 tbsp. brown sugar and 1/2 tsp. cinnamon. Stir to coat apples well. Transfer to the crock pot.



In the empty bowl, combine oats, soymilk, 1 tbsp. brown sugar, 1 tsp. cinnamon, syrup, and salt. (All remaining ingredients except butter.) Add 1 cup water and mix well.



Add oat mixture to the crock pot, and gently stir. Cover and cook on high for 3 hours or on low for 7 hours.



Add butter and mix well. (Do NOT forget this step. Stick a Post-it to your timer if you have to!) Serve and enjoy!



MAKES 5 SERVINGS

Every day! We use a small (1.5 qt) crockpot with a lamp timer. 1/2c oats to 13oz water (we like it a bit chewier), on high for two hours.

I make them in a thermos. They always come out perfect and it saves a lot of energy. I preheat my thermos for a minute before I pour it out and add the oats and water.

I've never tried this recipe, but it's gotta be good 'cause Alton Brown is untouchable: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/overnight-oatmeal-recipe/index.html

I've tried it. It's great.
Full disclousure: I'm an Alton Brown fanboy

I have a mini crockpot. I combine 1/4 cup SC Oats, 1.5 cups of combined water/skim milk, cinnamon. let it slow cook overnight. I add chia seed and blueberries in the morning and sweeten it to taste.

My Husband & I love steel cut oats. We use the quick cook kind. I make a large batch -8 servings. I use 2 cups of oats & 6 cups of water on the stove. I add butter, cinnamon, 2 Tbsp brown sugar & apples cut up. Boil water I shake a little salt in mine. Add the oats cook for 7 minutes & add the other ingredients like fruit, sweeteners & cinnamon. I find this stuff keeps me from feeling hungry & it tastes good!! We just microwave the amount we want to eat in the morning. It lasts a couple of days.

I will have to try this - I've cooked it in my rice cooker, and it comes out great, but it makes a HUGE mess because it boils over every time!

What's your setup for the rice cooker? I recently got a Zojiroshi, and am positively in love with it for cooking basmati (on a timer? so it's hot and fresh when I come home from work?!), but would love to try steel cut and rolled oats in at, as well.

Absolutely my favorite way to make oats!! I have one too (Fuzzy Logic rules!!), and the oats come out perfect!

We just use the basic white rice setting for steel cut oats.. the porridge setting isn't quite enough cooking. Throw some dried fruit in there with it, too... OMG yummy!

FYI.... the quick cook steel cut oats don't work so well in the crock.... tried it last night because I was out of regular ones. The result still tastes all right, but the texture is wrong. It turned out more like really thick regular oatmeal.
