Cooking steel-cut oats may take a bit more time than a packet of instant oatmeal (OK, about 20 to 30 minutes longer), but the chewy texture and nutty flavor of these freshly milled whole grains will make all the difference.
Stir in a touch of brown sugar and cinnamon, and top with fresh mixed berries, as in the recipe photographed above, and you'll have a sweet eye-opener that's also good for your heart. And if you're not an early riser, you can put the ingredients in the pot the night before and let them cook overnight using your slow cooker.

2-15-2010 @2:32PM Sue said... Ooh, are you sharing? That bowlful looks delish!
Cooking oats in the slow cooker works...you wake up to hot, cooked oatmeal!

Eating one bowl of overnight crock-pot cooked steel cut oats made me never want to eat any of that 'quick cook' packaged stuff ever again!

I set my zojirushi to "porridge" and the timer for whenever I'm going to get up in the morning -- and when I wake up it's ready! I add sugar, milk and berries in the morning. Oh, and sometimes I add sliced almonds, yum.

I love it, but 45 minutes is a long time to wait around for breakfast in the morning. I think the trick will be to put the milk in and heat it up for a few minutes right before you eat it. Maybe I'll get ambitious this weekend. I have a little mini 1qt slow cooker that just might do the trick...
