Creamy Steel Cut Oats Crock Pot Food

SLOW-COOKER STEEL-CUT OATS

Steps:

• In a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker, combine the oats, salt and 4 cups water. Cover and set the cook time to 2 hours on low, at which point the slow cooker will automatically switch to warm. Cook on warm until the oatmeal is creamy and tender, about 6 more hours. (The 6 hours on warm is not optional; the oats will not be done after 2 hours on low. If you wish to cook them more quickly, you can cook for 4 to 5 hours total on low.) Ladle into bowls and serve with the toppings of your choice.

SLOW COOKER STEEL-CUT OATS

Steps:

• Combine water, milk, oats, apple, brown sugar, butter, cinnamon, and salt in a slow cooker; mix well.
• Cook oatmeal on Low for 1 hour. Reduce heat to Simmer or Warm and cook for 7 to 8 hours.

SLOW COOKER PEACHES AND CREAM STEEL-CUT OATMEAL

Steps:

• Place water, oats, milk, butter, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt into an oven-safe bowl. Place the bowl into the bottom of a slow cooker. Fill the slow cooker with water up to the water level in the oatmeal bowl. Cover the slow cooker.
• Cook on Low until oats are tender, 6 to 8 hours.
• Stir in peaches with their juices. Cover and continue to cook on Low until warmed, about 30 minutes. Serve.

CREAMY SCOTTISH OATMEAL (WITH CROCK-POT INSTRUCTIONS)

Steps:

• If you are making this in a crockpot, the first and only step is to throw everything together in a 2-quart crockpot [increase the water to 3-1/2 cups to allow for evaporation]. Okay, now nighty-nite! We'll see you in the morning!
• Otherwise, bring 1 cup milk and 3 cups water to a boil in a 2-quart saucepan.
• Stir in oats, spices, and raisins.
• Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• When cooking is complete, stir in brown sugar, maple syrup, vanilla, pecans, and salt (don't add the salt with the boil; the oats won't cook right).
• 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.
• Serve! You can add more fresh or dried fruit, butter, more milk, whathaveyou, but it's awesome all on its own.

NO MESS CROCK POT STEEL CUT OATS

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?

~ CREAMY STEEL CUT OATS ~ CROCK POT

Steps:

• 1. Place oats, water, salt, butter and raisins if using in a small slow cooker. Stir, place lid on and cook on low for 6 - 8 hours. I do stir a few times in the process and have done them on high as well, for about 4 hours. The recipe can also be double, have tried that as well. Stir, place desired oats in serving bowl add your favorite toppings and enjoy!

STEEL CUT OATMEAL FOR THE CROCK POT

• Place all ingredients in a 2 quart slow cooker. (If you want to make a smaller amount please use a smaller crock pot or crockette. This won't work in a 6 quart cooker).
• Cover and cook on LOW 6-8 hours.
• It might form a "crust" around the outside. Just scrape it down with a spoon and stir.
