Recipe for Slow Cooker One-Serving Overnight Steel Cut Oats

Makes 1 servings

1/4 cup steel cut oats
3/4 cup + 2 Tbsp water
Dash of salt
1/4 cup dehydrated apples (optional)
Fresh fruit (optional)

1.  Combine water, steel-cut oats, salt and apples in Little Dipper Crock-Pot.  
2.  Plug in the Little Dipper and cook for about 7-9 hours.
3.  Serve oatmeal with fresh fruit and milk, if desired.
Review:
Every time I make steel cut oats overnight they always stick to the sides of the slow cooker and get all crusty.  I wondered if I made them in a smaller slow cooker if it would help.  Cooking in my little dipper (which doesn’t actually have a LOW or HIGH setting) seemed to work a bit better.  I put them in about 11 pm and didn’t end up turning of the cooker until 7:45 am.  They were cooked nicely and less stuck to the sides of the slow cooker.  I am also the only one in my house that likes steel-cut oats so making one serving worked well for me.  I’ll be using this method again.  4 stars.

    A quick spray of Pam (over the sink) in the Little Dipper before adding ingredients works nicely. I use an outlet timer so the crock pot is plugged into it that starts cooking about 6-7 hours before we’re going to eat. Depends on the amount of oats I’m cooking. I use a milk/water ratio. I stir in my dehydrated apples, cherries and bananas or anything else about 15 minutes before serving. Cinnamon, allspice… anything goes. We chop up pecans and add raisins too. The reason I add mix-ins and spices at the end is because ingredients can easily burn and all seem to settle on the bottom if added in the beginning. And don’t forget about a tbsp of butter right before serving. Delicious!

    Can it be regular oats or must it be steel cut?

    I rub a little bit of butter inside my Little Dipper so that nothing sticks

    I am excited to try this one…I have a bag of steel cut oats but never get around to making them since it takes a long time to cook them the conventional way—but this seems like a great way to wake up in the morning.
