Steel Cut Oatmeal

Until the last year or so, I've never been a big fan of oatmeal.  Some years ago, it was my daily breakfast because it seemed like the healthy thing to eat.  Unfortunately, it got very boring ...  Fast forwarding a few years, I came upon new oatmeal and a new technique.  Now, when I don't get to eat oatmeal, I miss it.  Seriously.  Who says that about oatmeal?

You'll need to do a little planning, some Red Mill Steel Cut Oats, and a crockpot.

  • Make a water bath in your crockpot, and set it on Low.
  • Use a crockpot-safe bowl to put your water/oats mixture.  For one serving, 1/4 C Oats with 1 Cup water
  • Set the bowl in the waterbath.
  • Cook for up to 12 hours.
  • Top with whatever you like, and there's likely no healthier breakfast out there
The only downside to this are the unsightly mineral deposits from the water.  However, a little lemon juice added to the water bath helps to remove ... and it's a really a small price to pay.
