I love steel cut oats and look forward to trying this recipe. Any chance of you revising your pumpkin recipe with steel cut instead of old fashioned? yum

I too LOVE Steel Cut Oats…did you know you can make a weeks worth in the crock pot and just heat up the portion you want. Also, if you soak them for 30 min.in cold water and in a zip-lock bag…they will cook on the stove top in a few minutes. It’s a great trick.

What a great post Roni-love the look back.

I make overnight oatmeal with old fashioned oats (no cooking), but have never tried with steel cut, have you?
It is one of my readers’ favorite posts:

Me too Joe! link to greenlitebites.com It’s tasty! :)

I’ll see what I can do about the emails. Thanks for the suggestion.

p.s. I do similiar recipes with oatmeal and also with quinoa. Instead of or in addition to, try to experiment with some “exotic” spices…cardamom, mace, a bit of cloves, powdered ginger, even sweet curries or garam masala…for example..garam masala with chopped dates and pecans…sweet, mild curry with a dollop of fig jam…the combinations are endless!

Hi Roni, love your recipes. I get your’s thru email.
A polite suggestion…is there any way that you could put the title of your recipe in the SUBJECT line of your email? I move recipes that I like into a FOOD folder in my outlook, and it would be nice if I could easily scan the subjects to find a recipe idea. THanks if you can do that, Thanks for the recipes if you can’t!

I love making them in my slow cooker overnight. They are ready when I wake up and my whole house smells amazing. I used to put craisins in but they increase the point value too much for me. Now I’m experimenting with different fruit to put in. Sometimes I put a couple tablespoons of ground flax in to get some omega 3 fatty acids in and thicken it up a bit.

Wow. I’m so excited about this recipe. I’ve had my steel cut oats for about a month now & haven’t yet made them-chicken I guess. The points seemed high, but I am totally making these tomorrow morning!! I don’t have any blueberries left, but I do have strawberries in the fridge! YUM. Thanks for all you do, Roni!

Roni, is it your experience that 1/4 cup steel cut oats equals about a cup cooked? Thanks! PJ

I really have to keep frozen berries on hand, they look so good on top of the oatmeal. I’ve been using bananas lately, time for blueberries!

Great idea Lisa! I’ll try that too.. although I don’t think the 20 minutes in the morning is that big of a deal but that’s just me, I like being in the kitchen. ;)

I just started cooking steel coat oats and the EASIEST method is overnight. You do the same proportions (off the top of my head — 1:4)and you bring it to a boil on the stove and cover and leave over night. Bam! there done in the morning. All you have to do is reheat in the pan or the microwave and they are perfect. Hope this helps!

They have steel cut oats in the bulk bins at many stores, and at a much lower price than in the canisters. I bought one canister, simply to have the pretty storage, and now refill it from the bulk bins!

I bought these at the Alexandria, VA TJ, I’m going to the one in Columbia, MD tomorrow, i will let you know if they carry it there, sometimes different stores don’t have the same items I’m noticing.

Mmm! I just bought some blueberries and steel cut oats at Trader Joe’s. I picked up some quick cooking (8 minute) steel cut oats there, have you ever tried them? I didn’t know they existed.

WOW you’ve been reading that long! lol

I really don’t think they take THAT long but I can see when you are in a rush they would be a pain. You can try the overnight crock pot method, make extra and keep them in single serve containers in the fridge. They heat up surprisingly well! Just add a bit of water and warm in the microwave. I think those are our only options–25 minutes on the stover top or make big batches in the slow cooker.

I remember your 1st Apple Pie Oatmeal, I can’t believe it was 2007! I’ve never had Steel Cut Oats I’ve been eating Old Fashioned Oats since I started the Core Plan with WW. I have to admit, the Old Fashioned does not hold me near as long anymore but they’re quick to make. I wonder if there is a quick method of cooking Steel Cut Oats??

You can! I shop at “regular” stores about 90% of the time. They are in the oatmeal aisle, found in canisters.

Where do you find your steel cut oats? Can you get them at “regular” grocery stores?
