Directions
Creamy Scottish Oatmeal (With Crock-Pot Instructions),Oh, man. Properly made steel-cut (aka Scottish or Irish) oatmeal will change your opinion about oatmeal. Scottish oatmeal, without the benefit of added fat, comes out creamy and delicious; the trick is the long cooking time. I had mine with milk added and, honestly, it was totally unnecessary. You can also make this in a crockpot; just fix it up before you go to bed and you will wake up to breakfast!,I’m afraid, as a Scot, I have to say that this is as authentic to Scotland as kangaroos are to Iceland. It was never intended to be sickly sweet like this. Very plain, oats, water, salt and a sprinkle of sugar on top when cooked, perhaps with a drop of milk. That’s it!,I made a triple batch of this and put it in my 6 qt slow cooker overnight. It ended up cooking on low about 9 hours. It was a huge hit! In the morning those that chose to added pecans & blueberries. We found it to be mildly sweet (which is how we prefer things) and very creamy. My DH does not like his steel cut oats chewy, and these were perfect. I’ll be freezing the leftovers in individual containers for quick steel cut oats breakfasts. Thank you so much for posting!

If You Are Using a Crockpot, You May Notice That a Crust Has Formed on the Bottom of the Crock After Cooking. This Is Perfectly Normal. You Can Eat It If You Want to, or You Can Just Leave It. Just Make Sure to Transfer the Recipe Into a Resealable Bowl and Soak Your Crockpot Right Away. This Stuff Will Stick Like Glue If It Dries. |
