Another delicious oatmeal recipe, thank you! I accidentally put in 1 tsp of cinnamon; the cinnamon taste was a bit strong, but I’ll remember for next time. Now I can alternate this with the banana chocolate chip oatmeal!

Another great recipe! I added a little vanilla.

I’m amazed at how filling this small portion can be.

Here’s how I make steel cut oats:

2 cups H20
2 cups milk (I’ve heard people do this with fruit juice tho)

Both in a saucepan. Add cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger, vanilla (1 tsp or so).

Heat to just boiling

Add 2 cups oats, raisins (I just eyeball until I think enough is in there), dried cranberries, sultanas, nuts.

Reduce heat and cook it for, I don’t know, until it looks “right” to me (pretty much when most of the liquid is absorbed)

Turn off the heat. Put the lid on. Let it sit overnight.

We, DH & I find it makes enough for 4 or 5 days.

We heat it and sweeten it before we eat in the morning. It’s kind of like having dessert for breakfast.

To make easy steel cut oats, boil 4 cup water in a medium sauce pan. Add 1 cups oats. Turn off burner and cover pan with tight fitting lid. Leave on stove over night, and in the morning, you have perfect oatmeal.

If you add raisins or some other dried fruit, it sweet enough that you don’t need to add any sweetener. I often add cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, allspice, and cardamom. I love spice in my oatmeal! :)

Sandy, I have always used Sugar Free instant Butterscotch pudding in the Pumpkin Fluff recipe. It is a big hit at family gatherings. k

I made oatmeal something like this this morning, with a packet of instant, 1/2 cup of pumpkin, 1/4 cup milk and some cinnamon. It was delicious. Thanks for the idea!

Roni,

Haven’t looked at your sites in a while, and then saw this! I love pumpkin and oatmeal and can’t wait to try this at home. The apple pie oatmeal as well, for my hubby who loves apple pie (though he doesn’t usually eat oatmeal).

Hope all is well,

-Debby C

Can someone post the pumpkin fluff recipe. I’m not a Weight Watchers member. I am looking for something that would be like the filling of pumpkin pie without the crust. Can you just make up the pumpkin pie filling and bake it in custard cups?

Hi Roni,

I make pumpkin oatmeal all the time but instead of using water I use brewed tea – pumpkin spice flavour. I do this with all kinds of tea flavours and it’s a great way to add taste without weird chemicals or extra calories.

Right now I use Tim Horton’s pumpkin spice tea, but I found other kinds online: link to bigelowtea.com

Yummy! :)

Your pumpkin oatmeal sounds delicious. Thank you for sharing the recipe.

this looks great, i too have canned pumpkin i’m ready to use! i’ve tried the steel cut oatmeal in the crockpot and it is very tasy. Trader Joe’s also has frozen pre-cooked steel cut oatmeal, so all you have to do is heat for a couple of minutes and done… i’m eating some as i type, delish!

I’ve done steel cut oats in the crock pot over night a lot of recipes online recommend putting dried fruit in. Kinda nice to wake up and breakfast is ready to put into a bowl :) I will do this again when it gets cold (in southern california it takes a while).

I love this. I had a version of pumpkin oatmeal this morning too! I eat oatmeal every morning with a banana mashed into it, but I just started adding a bit organic pumpkin. I love how thick the pumpkin makes it, it really fills me up :)

I have bought some! LOL Just haven’t taken the leap yet! :~) I barely have time to make the toddler’s lunch at night let alone remember to soak my oatmeal for breakfast. Not that I’m making excuses! :~P

AS for the NI, haven’t had time yet. I’ll have to double check my nutritiondata.com entry, I must have entered something in too high. Thanks for reminding me, it’s on the “to do”!

Roni, Roni, Roni- This looks really good but when am I going to get you to try Steele cut oats? I know that they take a long time to cook but if you brown them up a bit and then let them soak overnight they really don’t take that long in the a.m. For my pumpkin oatmeal I make the old pumpkin fluff recipe that circulates around the ww boards for a snack or dessert and then stir a portion into my oats in the morning.
Also curious- have you ever recalculated your NI on your bulgur stew? After I divided mine up I got 9 bowls which brought my NI to around 150 per bowl.
Thanks Rebecca
