Steel cut oats?

February 27, 2009

Anybody have any recipe recommendations for steel cut oats?? My

husband bought some, and I cooked it the same as rolled oats, but

nobody will eat it but me. (Too chewy for the toddler...)

I hadn't tried them, but when I went to visit my friend last week,

she had them and we had them every day for breakfast. You need to

cook them

for 30 minutes. I'm not sure of the water ratio. You can soak them

overnight to make for quicker cooking and they may be softer that way.

We really enjoyed them with berries, granola and a bit of soy milk/

almond milk.

I think they might take more water, and definitely have a longer

cooking time. I think there's a crockpot recipe for them too, but I've

not done it that way (I may just have to dig it out though)

We prefer them over the rolled oats because they have a better flavor

and texture).

I like to add raisins or dried cranberries, maybe cinnamon and a pinch

of cardamom to them and some maple syrup. Making them with soymilk (or

ricemilk or whatever milk instead of water ) is also yummy. To add

more protein, I sometimes mash up garbanzos and mix them into the

oatmeal. Very filling, and adds to the kind of 'nutty' taste. We've

also added tahini or peanut butter (though my son said he now doesn't

like the peanut butter in the oatmeal, but he used to LOL).

I cook mine in my rice cooker. Same measurements as on the can/pkg. I

also throw in a handful of raisins, dried cranberries or other dried

fruits and nuts. I have been known to use diluted apple juice instead

of plain water. Yummy, filling, healthy breakfast and the rice maker

takes the guess-work out of the timing.

I cook them overnight in the crockpot. 1 cup oats, 4 cups water, 1/2 c

chopped dates

What is steel cut oats? Can they be bought in the regualr grocery

store? We usually use the regular oats you buy in the store. We love

oatmeal. I love mine with cut up bananas in it. The kids like theres

with honey and cinnomon.

Thanks,

Steel cut oats are less processed. Whole oats are steamed and pressed or

flattened. Usually the less processed the better for you. Like whole oats are

better than quick cooking are better than instant. They usually have them in

regular grocery stores, sometimes in the foreign food section. I have seen them

with the scottish items before. Sometimes just by the hot cereals.
