Overnight steel cut oats are a delicious and healthy breakfast option that can be made ahead of time, making them perfect for busy mornings. They are made with steel cut oats, which are a type of whole grain that is higher in fiber and protein than rolled oats. Steel cut oats also have a chewier texture and a nutty flavor. Overnight steel cut oats are made by combining oats, milk, and yogurt in a jar or container and refrigerating them overnight. In the morning, the oats will be cooked and ready to eat. You can add a variety of toppings to your overnight steel cut oats, such as fruit, nuts, seeds, or sweeteners.

OVERNIGHT PUMPKIN PIE STEEL CUT OATS
Who doesn't love pumpkin pie for breakfast? I love steel cut oats, but as a teacher and trainer, I don't have time to cook them in the morning. I did a lot of experimenting and came up with the following recipe for overnight oats in the fridge. Before I leave for work, I grab my jar of oats, put it in my bag, and head for the gym. I heat it up as soon as I hit work and I've got pumpkin pie for breakfast.

Steps:
- I make up five of these on the weekend by putting oats, flax seeds, and spice into pint canning jars and putting the lids on them. They sit in the cupboard.
- Every night I heat up (or use a hot water dispenser) half cup water until about tea water temperature. Doesn't have to be boiling. Alternatively, you can just add water, pumpkin, and maple syrup and put into microwave for 2 minutes.
- Put lids on jar and put into fridge.
- In the morning, add about 1 tbs half and half or a little milk or almond milk and head for 90 seconds. Stir, eat. One of the benefits of the soaking is that the flax actually puffs up and becomes digestible so you don't need to grind it.
- Other add ins or options: coconut, raisins or other dried fruit, nuts, hemp hearts, chia seeds, (I actually always do hemp hearts or chia but neither were in the database), peanut butter and cocoa, fresh berries, pears or apples with apple pie spice, etc.

Tips:
- Use a slow cooker. This is the easiest way to make steel-cut oats overnight. Just combine all of the ingredients in the slow cooker, set it on low, and cook for 8-10 hours.
- Use a programmable rice cooker. If you have a programmable rice cooker, you can use it to make steel-cut oats overnight. Just combine all of the ingredients in the rice cooker, set the timer, and go to bed. The oats will be cooked and ready to eat in the morning.
- Use a Dutch oven. If you don't have a slow cooker or a rice cooker, you can make steel-cut oats overnight in a Dutch oven. Just combine all of the ingredients in the Dutch oven, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 1 hour. Remove from heat and let it sit overnight.
