Not-Your-Typical Crock Pot Oatmeal

Originally posted by Gina Mondzelewski Small

For this recipe, you'll need a heatproof bowl that fits inside your crock pot.

1 cup steel cut oatmeal (I like Trader Joe's quick cook steel cut oats)
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp pumpkin or apple pie spice
2 tsp cinnamon
4 cups water
2 tsp vanilla

Combine dry ingredients in a heat proof bowl that fits in your crock pot and stir well. Add water & vanilla and stir to combine. Put the bowl inside your crock pot bowl, and fill the crock pot around the bowl with water, at least as high as the ingredients inside the bowl. Cook on low overnight and wake up to your house smelling like cinnamon! Dish it up and throw in your add-ins (I like stevia, chocolate protein powder and blueberries).

Basically you are cooking the oats in a water bath (bain marie in cooking terms). It makes the oats so incredibly creamy and delicious without that "gritty" texture steel cut oats can sometimes have And BONUS no crusty spots at the bottom or around the edges, like most recipes that cook oats in the crock pot (makes the clean up so much easier!) I usually cook this 6-8 hours but have done it as quickly as 4.

I just bought steel cut oats today so I can try it out. I'm leaving it overnight so I hope it doesn't go too long. I am going to try and stay up as late as possible!

I have never heard of steel cut oats. Can you use old fashioned oats instead?

From Yahoo Answers: "Steel-cut oats are whole oat kernels cut into small chunks rather than being smashed flat as in oatmeal. This gives the oats more of a chew texture and also slows both cooking time and digestion time. "

So basically, you could use them, but the cooking time would be shorter and you may not need as much liquid, though that's just a guess.

Hi!

Do you usually cook this overnight, to have it done for breakfast?

Thank you
