Steel cut oatmeal for breakfast!

March 18th, 2009 at 02:54 am

I just discovered that you can make it in a slow cooker!

I am going to set it up before going to sleep and have some ready and hot for me and DH tomorrow.


(this is not my picture - not yet)

It is not really to save money - I usually just get a 75c pumpernickel buttered bagel for breakfast with gourmet coffee I make at the office.
That kind of oatmeal is actually more expensive. But it is much healthier.

I wanted to have this for breakfast for a while, but there is no way I can make time to actually cook it (and I do not like instant one) But if I wake up and it is ready to serve - that changes the equation.

I will also add some pecans and maybe a touch maple syrup we bought in vermont.

Or, I wonder if I could put dried cherries into it instead (to cook with oatmeal for 8hrs?) If anyone knows, please post. I use dried cherries in jeweled rice but that is only cooked for 20 minutes. I wonder what will happen to them after 6-8hrs?

I bought the slow cooker few month ago and cooked barley soup with it once. Until now I did not know what else to do with it. Now, if this works, I'll use it few times a week!

    i put desicated coconut, sultanas and cinnamon in my porridge in the mornings. chopped apricots, plain yoghurt, sliced banana and honey is also nice.

    Sounds yummy. I think I might try that, too!

    I love steel cut oatmeal, it has such a chewy texture. It just takes 20 minutes on the stovetop. I use skim milk, real maple syrup, walnuts and raisins in mine.
