Directions
No Mess Crock Pot Steel Cut Oats,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!,Finally, a recipe that makes it possible to cook steel cut oats easily. If you’ve ever cooked them on the stovetop and had them cook over, you know what a mess that can be. Cook overnight or all day, then portion cooked oats for single servings. I know I’ll be adding a cocoa “slurry” to this at some point using dried cherries for the fruit. Viola, Choco-Cherry oatmeal,Super super easy. I did and cinnamon, 1 chopped apple, and 1 tablespoon brown sugar Splenda to mine. I tried using the crockpot cake pan made for crockpots like one reviewer suggested. That did not work for me, it was way to light and just floated on top of the water.. I found a nice size mixing bowl that fit perfectly inside by crockpot.

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. |

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? |
