Just spray slow cooker with non stick spray (or coat with butter) mix oats and water, a few pats of butter and anything else you would like with your oatmeal and let it cook on low (or even just warm setting) overnight. Stir really well in the morning. It's the best way to wake up!! You can actually make oatmeal (any kind) in the crockpot overnight.

You put them in the microwave for like 3 minutes-and done. 2 bowls cost about $1.99. The store is Safeway, or Vons in some area. The brand is Eating Right. They have about 3 or 4 flavors available, and they are pretty tasty. My grocer sells a store brand that is in the frozen isle.

I first ate Steel cut oatmeal out here in FL @ jamba juice franchise. They are an all natural stand, and they serve the steel cut oatmeal w/ a dollop of brown sugar and either banana or apples on top. It was delicious!!! I now buy the dry package at publix supermarket in the greenwise section and make it just like described in large batches, so i can too have it for breakfast quick and easy! It has an incredible texture!! So yummy! Hi everyone… I first ate Steel cut oatmeal out here in FL @ jamba juice franchise.

We make it often and everyone loves it. We add a step at the beginning of the process to give it a rich nutty flavor. The first thing we do is toast the oats in a tablespoon or so of melted butter. Once it is toasted we add the water and a pinch of salt and cook it till it is done. We serve it with dried fruit, nuts, brown sugar and milk. It is a great way to start the day.

I'm with McCann's and I must say, it is so great to see such enthusiasm over steel cut oats! I also enjoy steel cuts, and especially like to find new ways to prepare them. If anyone else is interested, take a look at our website recipes http://www.mccanns.ie/recipes.html . They are delicious! We, here at McCann's, are so happy that you are enjoying the product AND packaging! Hi Everyone!

My parents introduced them to me years ago and my husband and I eat them all the time and our little girls love them too, but that may be in part because we call them 'rolly-polly' oats. When I first started making them I tried a number of different methods to see which one we would like the best and we found that cooking them overnight gave us the results that we just love. We bring 1 cup oats, 3 1/2 cups water, 1 teaspoon salt to a rolling boil on the stove for about 3-5 minutes (thankfully, it doesn't have to be exact), turn the heat off, put the lid on and go to bed knowing we'll be having a great breakfast in the morning! That's it, simple as can be and the oats are tender but still retain their shape and in my opinion the salt really brings our their flavor. You could add more or less water or salt for your own preferences. In the morning we just heat up our individual portions and then refrigerate the rest, though they don't last long at our house. We always add a little milk when reheating and we love to add flaxseed meal, fresh or dried fruit and toasted almonds, though I am excited to try some of the different toppings mentioned above. We usually buy our oats in the bulk isle at Whole Foods Market. Thanks for a great post and so many great comments!

I bought Quaker as the first time I went they did not have McCann's, I will try them next time. I made a batch of four and put them in the refrigerator for the week. I use I cup water, 1/2 cup fat free milk and 1/4 cup steel cut oats per serving. I like the idea of cooking it in the slow cooker, I will be trying that. Thanks for all of the great ideas I eat mine with brown sugar or honey and walnuts or pecan, and or dates or apicots. I have just started eating Steel Cut Oats and I love them.

Yum. I still eat it as an adult with a little goat milk. I used to cook just one portion in the morning, then had the lightbulb flash to cook a pot the night before and refridgerate to have portions for the next few days . I just put a portion in a bowl with the fixin's and pop in the micro on high for 2 to 21/2 mins and have a nice warm bowl of oatmeal. I pretty much eat it year-round. I am looking forward to trying steel-cut oats too! I grew up on old-fashioned rolled oatmeal (cooked in water) for breakfast with wheat germ and honey. Yum.

Nothing as good to start the day full of energy. I like adding bananas and peanut butter in my oats for added taste. Oats are a good source of fiber and has been proven to reduce cholesterol levels too. So go for it. Thanks for sharing this article. I love oatmeal for breakfast.
