SLOW-COOKER STEEL-CUT OATS



Slow-Cooker Steel-Cut Oats image

This is a practically effortless way to have a hot breakfast ready to go the moment you wake up. The trick to cooking perfect steel-cut oats in the slow cooker is to make use of the auto-warm setting, which switches on when the set cook time is over. (The majority of modern slow cookers have this function, though some older ones may not.) Cooking the oatmeal on low for two hours, then on warm for up to six more ensures very creamy, risotto-like oats that have a pleasant chew. (You can also cook the oats on low for 4 hours, then immediately serve, but if you venture any longer than that, the oats may overcook.) Think of this as a whole-grain meal that you can take in any sweet or savory direction you like: Top with a pat of butter and a squeeze of honey, or a sprinkle of salt and a bit of hot sauce, or any of the topping suggestions below.

Time 8h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 cup steel-cut oats
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Toppings, optional (see Tip)

Steps:

  • In a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker, combine the oats, salt and 4 cups water. Cover and set the cook time to 2 hours on low, at which point the slow cooker will automatically switch to warm. Cook on warm until the oatmeal is creamy and tender, about 6 more hours. (The 6 hours on warm is not optional; the oats will not be done after 2 hours on low. If you wish to cook them more quickly, you can cook for 4 to 5 hours total on low.) Ladle into bowls and serve with the toppings of your choice.

STEEL CUT OATMEAL FOR THE CROCK POT



Steel Cut Oatmeal for the Crock Pot image

I love the texture of steel cut oats. You can make this the night before and breakfast is ready in the morning. I like fruit additions, but my kids do not, so I've listed them as optional. Also, it may sound like a lot of water, but trust me, I've experimented..

I found another recipe for Steel Cut Oatmeal on the web. Made some adjustments, and it's delicious!

Provided by Hair Chef

Categories     Breakfast

Time 8h5m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup steel cut oats
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup raisins
3 cups hot water (not boiling)
1 1/2 cups milk (whole milk works best)
1/4 cup packed brown sugar (optional)
1 tablespoon cinnamon (optional)

Steps:

  • Spray inside of crock pot with non-stick spray (I use canola).
  • Add all ingredients to crock pot (may add raisins and/or cranberries in the morning - depending on texture preference.
  • Turn to low setting.
  • Cook for 8-9 hours (turn on last thing before bedtime).

Tips:

  • Use equal parts oats and liquid: This is the general rule of thumb for cooking steel-cut oats, but you can adjust the ratio slightly to achieve your desired consistency. If you like your oats creamier, use a little more liquid. If you prefer them chewier, use a little less.
  • Soak the oats overnight: This is not necessary, but it will help to reduce the cooking time. If you're short on time, you can skip this step.
  • Cook the oats on low heat: This will help to prevent them from sticking to the bottom of the pot and burning.
  • Stir the oats occasionally: This will help to ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Add your favorite toppings: Once the oats are cooked, you can add your favorite toppings, such as fruit, nuts, seeds, or spices. You can also add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup for sweetness.

Conclusion:

Cooking steel-cut oats in a crock pot is a great way to enjoy a delicious and healthy breakfast without having to spend a lot of time in the kitchen. With a little planning, you can have a hot and hearty breakfast ready for you in the morning. So next time you're looking for an easy and nutritious breakfast option, give crock pot steel-cut oats a try.
