Breakfast is the most essential meal of the day, and steel-cut oats are a hearty and healthy way to start your morning. With the help of a crockpot, you can have a delicious, nutritious breakfast ready and waiting for you when you wake up. Steel-cut oats are a whole grain that is high in fiber, protein, and iron. They are also a good source of vitamins and minerals, including magnesium, potassium, and zinc. Slow-cooking the oats in a crockpot allows them to retain their nutritional value while developing a creamy, flavorful texture.

STEEL CUT OATMEAL FOR THE CROCK POT
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..

SLOW-COOKER STEEL-CUT OATS
This is a practically effortless way to have a hot breakfast ready to go the moment you wake up. The trick to cooking perfect steel-cut oats in the slow cooker is to make use of the auto-warm setting, which switches on when the set cook time is over. (The majority of modern slow cookers have this function, though some older ones may not.) Cooking the oatmeal on low for two hours, then on warm for up to six more ensures very creamy, risotto-like oats that have a pleasant chew. (You can also cook the oats on low for 4 hours, then immediately serve, but if you venture any longer than that, the oats may overcook.) Think of this as a whole-grain meal that you can take in any sweet or savory direction you like: Top with a pat of butter and a squeeze of honey, or a sprinkle of salt and a bit of hot sauce, or any of the topping suggestions below.

Steps:
- In a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker, combine the oats, salt and 4 cups water. Cover and set the cook time to 2 hours on low, at which point the slow cooker will automatically switch to warm. Cook on warm until the oatmeal is creamy and tender, about 6 more hours. (The 6 hours on warm is not optional; the oats will not be done after 2 hours on low. If you wish to cook them more quickly, you can cook for 4 to 5 hours total on low.) Ladle into bowls and serve with the toppings of your choice.

- Add all ingredients to crock pot (may add raisins and/or cranberries in the morning - depending on texture preference.
- Turn to low setting.
- Cook for 8-9 hours (turn on last thing before bedtime).
Tips:
- For a creamier oatmeal, use whole or 2% milk instead of water. You can also add a dollop of yogurt or a splash of cream to your bowl before serving.
- Add your favorite toppings to your oatmeal. Some popular options include brown sugar, cinnamon, maple syrup, nuts, and dried fruit.
- If you like your oatmeal a little more chewy, reduce the amount of liquid by 1/4 cup.
- If you don't have a slow cooker, you can make steel-cut oatmeal on the stovetop. Just follow the instructions on the package.
- Steel-cut oatmeal is a great meal-prep option. Make a big batch on the weekend and then reheat it throughout the week for breakfast or lunch.
