NO MESS CROCK POT STEEL CUT OATS



No Mess Crock Pot Steel Cut Oats image

After being a zaar lurker for years, I finally am posting so I can find this recipe again. My husband gets up early for work and likes steel cut oats, but I don't want to be slaving over the stove or have a nasty crock pot mess. So I found this method on a blog (I don't know where exactly), and tried it last night. It worked perfectly! The oatmeal brulee came off a different blog and I haven't tried it but it sounds absolutely yummy!

Time 5m

Yield 4 cups, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 cup steel cut oats
4 cups water
1 dash salt (optional)

Steps:

  • Mix steel cut oats, 4 cups water, and salt, if using, in a bowl large enough to hold it.
  • Put some water in your crock pot and carefully lower the bowl with the oats into the water bath. You don't want the water in the crock pot to overflow into your oats, but I tried to follow the blogger's suggestion of matching the water level outside to that of the water/oats inside. Your bowl may get a hard water line on the outside that will come off in the dishwasher.
  • Cook on low overnight. In the morning you will have creamy oatmeal and can add your favorite fixins to it (milk, fruit, cinnamon, sugar, pumpkin, etc).
  • For Oatmeal Brulee: Fill a ramekin approximately half way with oatmeal (mixed with milk, cinnamon, vanilla, and sugar--to your desired sweetness).
  • Add blueberries and raspberries (or any other berry, apple, whatever).
  • Cover with another layer of sweetened oatmeal to smooth out top.
  • Sprinkle with mixture of 1 Tbsp white sugar and 1 tsp brown sugar.
  • Broil 1-3 minutes, or until sugar forms caramelized crust.
  • This sounds like a dessert to me, and was from a Disneyland resort's breakfast menu, but if it has oatmeal, that makes it breakfast, right?

STEEL CUT OATMEAL FOR THE CROCK POT



Steel Cut Oatmeal for the Crock Pot image

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..

Crock Pot Overnight Pumpkin Pecan Steel Cut Oatmeal image

Perfect for fall, this creamy spiced pumpkin and pecan oatmeal makes for an easy, hearty, and no-mess breakfast.

Provided by Kare for Kitchen Treaty

Time 8h5m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 cups water plus additional water for bain-marie
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/2 cup steel cut oats (not quick-cooking)
1/4 cup chopped pecans plus more for topping if desired

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl mix 1 1/2 cups water, pumpkin puree, brown sugar, and pumpkin pie spice.
  • Add the oats to a 23-ounce or larger oven-safe bowl (I use Fiestaware or Pyrex are good choices). Pour the pumpkin mixture over the top. Stir. Carefully place bowl in the middle of the Crock Pot and carefully fill Crock Pot with water, to about 1 inch below the rim of the bowl. Sprinkle with pecans.
  • Cook on low for 8 hours.
  • Turn off Crock Pot and remove lid, allowing the bowl to cool enough to lift out of the Crock Pot. Remove bowl and stir well. Sprinkle pecans and additional brown sugar on individual servings, if desired.

Tips:

  • Use a slow cooker liner for easy cleanup.
  • Toast the oats before cooking for a nuttier flavor.
  • Add your favorite fruits, nuts, or spices to the oatmeal for a customized breakfast.
  • Cook the oatmeal on low for a longer period of time for a creamier texture.
  • If you're using a programmable slow cooker, set it to cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
