I love the texture of steel cut oats. You can make this the night before and breakfast is ready in the morning. I like fruit additions, but my kids do not, so I've listed them as optional. Also, it may sound like a lot of water, but trust me, I've experimented.. Ingredients:
1 cup steel cut oats (do not substitute old-fashioned or quick-cooking oats) |
4 1/2 cups water |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
2 -3 tablespoons butter |
1/2 cup dried fruit (raisins, prunes, apricots, dates) (optional) |
milk, to taste |
sugar, to taste |
cinnamon, to taste |
maple syrup, to taste |
Directions:
1. Place all ingredients in a 2 quart slow cooker. (If you want to make a smaller amount please use a smaller crock pot or crockette. This won't work in a 6 quart cooker).
2. Cover and cook on LOW 6-8 hours.
3. It might form a crust around the outside. Just scrape it down with a spoon and stir.
