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.

Categories     breakfast, grains and rice, main course

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.

WHOLE WHEAT AND STEEL-CUT OATS BREAD - A LONG-FERMENTATION BREAD



Whole Wheat and Steel-Cut Oats Bread - A Long-Fermentation Bread image

This is a no-knead bread recipe that I put together using ideas from other recipes and my own variations. During the long fermentation period, the grains soften and swell to give the bread a wholesome and satisfying flavor and texture. It has a chewy crust that is crispy when toasted and a soft crumb. This bread is more convenient because it can be mixed one day and baked the next day when you have time. The long fermentation releases the nutrients of the grain and enhances the flavor of the bread.

Categories     Bread     Yeast Bread Recipes

Time 22h35m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups steel-cut oats
5 cups bread flour
4 cups whole wheat flour
¾ cup nonfat dry milk powder
6 tablespoons coconut sugar
3 tablespoons vital wheat gluten
2 tablespoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons flax seeds, crushed
¾ teaspoon active dry yeast
5 cups water
6 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 tablespoons raw apple cider vinegar (such as Bragg®)
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, or as needed
1 egg
1 tablespoon water, or as needed

Steps:

  • Heat a heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the steel cut oats; cook and stir until lightly toasted, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Combine bread flour, whole wheat flour, toasted steel cut oats, dry milk, sugar, gluten, salt, flax seeds, and yeast in the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment. Add 5 cups water, oil, and vinegar. Mix on low until all ingredients are moistened. Increase speed to medium-high; mix until gluten is developed and dough is elastic, about 5 minutes.
  • Turn dough into a clean, oiled bowl. Cover with plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, 1 to 2 hours.
  • Stretch and fold dough 4 to 6 times. Place back in bowl, cover, and refrigerate 16 to 18 hours.
  • Remove from the refrigerator 2 to 4 hours before baking. Turn out onto a well-floured surface; sprinkle top of dough with flour. Halve the dough; flatten each half. Fold in all 4 sides like an envelope; press edges together into the dough. Shape each piece into a loaf with the smooth side on top. Place in 2 loaf pans; cover with a non-terry towel. Let rise until dough just crests above the top of the pan, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C). Place a pan of water on the lower rack to produce steam for the bread.
  • Whisk egg with 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl. Coat tops of loaves with the egg wash.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until browned, about 15 minutes. Remove the pan of water carefully; cover loaves with aluminum foil tents. Continue baking until an instant-read thermometer inserted into a loaf reads 200 to 205 degrees F (93 to 96 degrees C), 45 to 60 minutes more.
  • Remove loaves from pans and cool on a wire rack.

Categories     Low Cholesterol

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 cup steel cut oats
3 cups boiling water
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup whole milk
1/2 cup low-fat buttermilk or 1/2 cup plain yogurt
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, melt the butter and add the oats. Stir for 2 minutes to toast.
  • Add the boiling water and reduce heat to a simmer. Keep at a low simmer for 25 minutes, without stirring.
  • Alternately, after adding the boiling water,cover the saucepan and remove from the heat. Allow to sit overnight on the counter. In the morning, proceed as directed below.

OVERNIGHT PUMPKIN PIE STEEL CUT OATS



Overnight Pumpkin Pie Steel Cut Oats image

Who doesn't love pumpkin pie for breakfast? I love steel cut oats, but as a teacher and trainer, I don't have time to cook them in the morning. I did a lot of experimenting and came up with the following recipe for overnight oats in the fridge. Before I leave for work, I grab my jar of oats, put it in my bag, and head for the gym. I heat it up as soon as I hit work and I've got pumpkin pie for breakfast.

Provided by MsTeechur

Categories     Oatmeal

Time 4m

Yield 1 meal, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/3 cup steel cut oats
2 tablespoons pumpkin, cooked
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1 teaspoon flax seed
1/2 cup water

Steps:

  • I make up five of these on the weekend by putting oats, flax seeds, and spice into pint canning jars and putting the lids on them. They sit in the cupboard.
  • Every night I heat up (or use a hot water dispenser) half cup water until about tea water temperature. Doesn't have to be boiling. Alternatively, you can just add water, pumpkin, and maple syrup and put into microwave for 2 minutes.
  • Put lids on jar and put into fridge.
  • In the morning, add about 1 tbs half and half or a little milk or almond milk and head for 90 seconds. Stir, eat. One of the benefits of the soaking is that the flax actually puffs up and becomes digestible so you don't need to grind it.
  • Other add ins or options: coconut, raisins or other dried fruit, nuts, hemp hearts, chia seeds, (I actually always do hemp hearts or chia but neither were in the database), peanut butter and cocoa, fresh berries, pears or apples with apple pie spice, etc.
