I think this is the one <a href="http://community.epicurious.com/post/slow-cooker-steel-cut-oats-apple-pie-oatmeal" rel="nofollow">http://community.epicurious.com/post/slow-cooker-steel-cut-oats-apple-pie-oatmeal</a> without the caramel. It sounds good soaking the oats in Apple cider. I've always thought along the lines as @Mrs. Lion: and enjoyed rolled oats more and they're about half the cost at the bulk food store where we go. But the overnight soaks of steel cut sound good, I think Im going to have to give them another try. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/overnight-steel-cut-oats#post-2007906 Sat, 03 Jan 2015 12:48:12 +0000 PurplePeony 2007906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lion: a lot of people think steel cut oats are healthier, since they are the least processed, but there's not really much difference between them and old-fashioned rolled oats. Instant oatmeal is the most processed, but it's okay if you're using plain, unsweetened ones -- the packets of sweetened oatmeal contain all sorts of additives and sugars. The nutritional differences between the different types are pretty small, it's mainly a time and texture thing. I like the chewy bite of steel-cut best, but I also like rolled. Instant is too gluey and mushy for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/overnight-steel-cut-oats#post-2007853 Sat, 03 Jan 2015 12:02:15 +0000 Mrs. Lion 2007853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Forgive my ignorance... but what makes steel cut better? Is it just a texture difference? It seems like so much more mental effort than the 1 minute in the microwave when I'm ready to eat it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/overnight-steel-cut-oats#post-2007846 Sat, 03 Jan 2015 11:56:53 +0000 regberadaisy 2007846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lavender: Bob's red mill!

Next question: which brand is your favorite? @regberadaisy: What brand do you use for S&amp;S? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/overnight-steel-cut-oats#post-2007643 Sat, 03 Jan 2015 08:17:50 +0000 Chuckles 2007643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bpcmarj: I also used the Bob's Red Mill steel cut oats for overnight in the slow cooker. They were quite soft, but there was still a little texture. You could tell that it was oatmeal and not some kind of porridge or soup. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/overnight-steel-cut-oats#post-2007627 Sat, 03 Jan 2015 07:10:36 +0000 bpcmarj 2007627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So, those of you cooking them for a long period of time, what texture do they become? I am using Bob's Red Mill right now and the package says to cook for 10-20 minutes. I am usually right in the middle somewhere. If you cook them overnight in the slow cooker do they become mushy? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/overnight-steel-cut-oats#post-2007416 Fri, 02 Jan 2015 21:51:26 +0000 Chuckles 2007416@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just did them overnight in the slow cooker for a new years day brunch. I used mostly milk and a little water, 1 c. of oats to 3.5 c. of liquid, plus a little brown sugar, cinnamon, and chopped apple. It was a big hit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/overnight-steel-cut-oats#post-2007361 Fri, 02 Jan 2015 21:10:46 +0000 FliegepilzHut 2007361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've done them overnight in the slow cooker! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/overnight-steel-cut-oats#post-2007273 Fri, 02 Jan 2015 20:17:23 +0000 blackbird 2007273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't find my favorite recipe but will keep looking: it's oats, milk, vanilla, chia seeds, and chopped strawberries. It's sort of a strawberries and cream flavor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/overnight-steel-cut-oats#post-2007269 Fri, 02 Jan 2015 20:12:02 +0000 regberadaisy 2007269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lion: you can use them in anything! There's no taste to them and they also work as a thickening agent. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/overnight-steel-cut-oats#post-2007264 Fri, 02 Jan 2015 20:07:40 +0000 Mrs. Lion 2007264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@daisyfay: I am going to try to add them to LO's oatmeal too :) I use them in smoothies, but oatmeal is a great idea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/overnight-steel-cut-oats#post-2007256 Fri, 02 Jan 2015 20:02:56 +0000 daisyfay 2007256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lion: Yes, they have quite a bit of protein, plus a ton of nutrients, and they are super filling. I am not a fan of them in drinks but in oatmeal they are really good! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/overnight-steel-cut-oats#post-2007245 Fri, 02 Jan 2015 19:56:19 +0000 Mrs. Lion 2007245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@daisyfay: chia seeds are a great idea...it would give it more protein too, right? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/overnight-steel-cut-oats#post-2007227 Fri, 02 Jan 2015 19:41:27 +0000 daisyfay 2007227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I almost always use this recipe: <a href="http://www.katheats.com/favorite-foods/overnightoats" rel="nofollow">http://www.katheats.com/favorite-foods/overnightoats</a></p> <p>I just use regular rolled oats since I'm too lazy to dirty another pan, and I usually top with a little bit of maple syrup and some walnuts. The banana adds a lot of sweetness, and I really like the texture the chia seeds add. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/overnight-steel-cut-oats#post-2007169 Fri, 02 Jan 2015 19:00:05 +0000 PawPrints 2007169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do steel cut oats overnight in our rice cooker with the timer set. Then in the morning we stir in natural PB, that's really all it needs in our opinion. Delicious. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/overnight-steel-cut-oats#post-2007156 Fri, 02 Jan 2015 18:52:53 +0000 artsyfartsy 2007156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: mason jars! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/overnight-steel-cut-oats#post-2006963 Fri, 02 Jan 2015 16:09:56 +0000 regberadaisy 2006963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Danizaur: presoaking or Mason jar?

Once we had to use them, we realized we really like them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/overnight-steel-cut-oats#post-2006955 Fri, 02 Jan 2015 15:58:10 +0000 Mrs. Lion 2006955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: I have a can that I bought accidentally and we didn't like them!

It has a nice nutty crunchy texture much like Quinoa. It's definitely more expensive than rolled oats though. We eat steel cut oats pretty exclusively because DH can't stand the mushy texture of rolled oats. I buy them off Amazon subscribe and save. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/overnight-steel-cut-oats#post-2006947 Fri, 02 Jan 2015 15:53:10 +0000 regberadaisy 2006947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsB2012: if you presoak the oats I find it cuts down on cooking time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/overnight-steel-cut-oats#post-2006941 Fri, 02 Jan 2015 15:48:47 +0000 Mrs. Lion 2006941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I add peanut or almond butter and fruit preserves! It sounded gross to me at first but it is so delicious! LO eats this almost every morning, and I eat it at least once a week (when I don't feel like making eggs!). I use plain instant oats though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/overnight-steel-cut-oats#post-2006937 Fri, 02 Jan 2015 15:45:28 +0000 regberadaisy 2006937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lavender: <a href="http://www.thekitchn.com/how-to-make-steel-cut-oatmeal-in-jars-one-week-of-breakfast-in-5-minutes-cooking-lessons-from-the-kitchn-143623" rel="nofollow">http://www.thekitchn.com/how-to-make-steel-cut-oatmeal-in-jars-one-week-of-breakfast-in-5-minutes-cooking-lessons-from-the-kitchn-143623</a></p> <p>Steel cut oats in Mason jars! You cook the oats for just 3 minutes then transfer to Mason jars. Leave enough room for milk to loosen in the morning and any add ons. I usually make it right after dinner then put it in the fridge before going to bed. I like adding milk to loosen, frozen fruits, peanut butter for extra protein. My DD loooves steel cut oats! I only bake with rolled oats! </p>
