With all this craziness of sheltering in place, our usual rolled oats are out of stock- leaving us searching for an alternative to our breakfast routine. Steel Cut Oats definitely have their own distinct taste and texture, and aren't usually are oats of "choice" but I kept experimenting and searching, and came up with my own new favorite recipe to bring these tough oats a creamy and sweet texture. Give this a try the next time you grab steel oats and you won't be disappointed.
Spray olive oil throughout the base of the cooker.
Add in all ingredients to slow cooker and stir well. Place lid on cooker and set to 8 hours on low.
Revisit and stir every hour-2 hours.
Serve and top with your favorite fruit or nuts, adding optional syrup and cinnamon as desired. Can refrigerate and store as well for meal prep!
