Ever wonder if there's an easy way to cook steel cut oats? Here's a wonderful hot breakfast cereal that is easy to make. You make it the night before in the crock pot so it's ready in the morning when you get up. This is adapted from "Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker Recipes for Two". Using a small crock pot that has been lightly oiled add:
1/3 cup hard red wheat
1/2 cup steel cut oats
3 cups water
1/8 tsp salt
several shakes of cinnamon
1/2 cup dried fruit
Place slow cooker on low for 7-9 hours.
In the morning add:
about 1/4 to 1/2 cup milk (depending on how creamy you like it)
1/4 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)
1 T butter
2 T sucanat (or brown sugar)
several shakes of cinnamon
any fresh fruit such as banana slices, sliced strawberries, etc.
Stir all of this together and let simmer for 1/2 hour to 1 hour and then serve into bowls. Feel free to drizzle with honey just before serving. Serves 2 to 3 people.
