Oatmeal is something we eat for breakfast regularly. I will cook using rolled oats in the morning which takes about 10-15 minutes. Sometime ago, I bought a pack of steel cut oats to try because I read it is better than rolled oats as it is less- processed than rolled oats. Cooking steel cut oats on the stove in the morning takes "forever" if you are rushing for time. It is coarser, smaller and tougher.
I am glad steel cut oats cooks really well in the slow cooker. Just dump everything in the slow cooker before you sleep and you have a bowl of hot , creamy , healthy and nutritious oatmeal with all your favourite toppings to start your day.
