Honestly I had not even heard of "steel cut oats"until about a year ago. Luckily they are easy to find in most grocery stores in the same area of the store where you find your regular oatmeal.
There are a few different ways to cook them (none quick) but its worth it since its mostly waiting time no real "work" is involved.
I know it's hard to see the oats since I covered it with fruit but it's under there :)
I made a single serving by following the directions on the package. It took about 45minutes to cook.
I added
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon of vanilla
1/4 cup of raisins (toward the end of cooking)
Toppings can be anything you like.Think dried fruit of your favorite nuts. Bananas and blackberries are my current favorite :)
If you want to make this for a crowd there are 2 options that I have found that work well with little effort... either cook overnight in a Crockpot or prepare the and let the oats soak in the cooking liquid over night then cook in the morning for 5-10 minutes.
Here are 2 recipes I have tried: crockpot overnight steel cut oats
When I made this I had no apples or flax seed. It was still fine. Next time I will add an exrtra 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon and at least 2 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla. ( if you are using a really good quality vanilla I would use a bit less) *TIP* I am not a huge fan of Crock pot liners but for this it would be worth it! Mine was slightly overcooked and not the most fun to clean. Oh... it might not have been so bad if I had remembered to oil my crock :)
