Steel Cut Oats?

[banslug]

OK...I finally picked up a box of organic steel cut oats, after reading a bunch of posts a LONG time ago.

What do you do with yours? Eat it plain? Fix it up???

I add a little maple syrup and van soymilk. You can also skip the cooking process if you soak overnight in soymilk in the fridge. Nice if you don't want to cook and don't mind cold cereal.
Just add whatever you would choose to add to any oatmeal.

Vanilla soy milk, a touch of brown sugar, sprinkle of cinnamon and handful of raisins or blueberries. Yum.

Gayle--
Check out this link with steel cut oat ideas.
There are a lot of good ideas. I have done them in the crock pot ..and the overnight method to cut cooking time.

Have a great day!

My favorite recipe is a scoop of vanilla whey protein powder, a sprinkle of cinnamon and a dash of brown sugar. In fact, I just got done eating it for breakfast. I don't pre-cook the oats, so it takes about 20 minutes before they're done.

I think it's absolutely yummy made with skim milk instead of water, with a touch of nutmeg and cinnamon. :9 :9 :9

Real maple syrup -- just a touch while the oats are really warm. Sometimes I use 1/2 water and 1/2 milk to make the oats.

I usually add real maple syrup (grade B), walnuts, and raisins. Makes for a very hearty breakfast.

I love Steel Oats, I use 2 packs of splenda, and a tbsp or Tbsp of PP yummy.

I just bought my first steel-cut oats and loved them. Following some previous posts I used a little cinnamon and a touch of honey. But this has me thinking, wouldn't it be good to cut some apple and let it cook with the oats?:9

Hi I just bought steel cut oats (Quaker) for the first time today. I think I will have to buy more just to try all the suggestions. Is there a brand that is better for you? Thanks

I liked sliced banana, natural pb and a bit of soy milk, or sliced banana, cinnamon and soy milk. Or chopped apple, cinnamon and a bit of soy milk. Or raisins, cinnamon, soy milk.

Are you seeing a theme there? ;-)

Shelley, I'd say you love your oatmeal!!!:9

 

[allwildgirl]

I'm fond of my cinnamon too

Oh yummy topic!

Love, love love steel cut oats. In fact I silently laugh to myself when I see people sucking down the sugar laden, over processed instant oatmeal mush and think they're eating "good".

I have my oats every morning as meal #2 of 5, with 1/2 egg yoke + 4 egg whites scrambled and mixed in with the oats after a sprinkle of Splenda and Sugar Free maple syrup.

My name is X and I'm an Oat-oholic!

What is the difference between Steel Cut Oats and Quaker Old Fashioned Oatmeal? Are Steel Cut better for you?

I just recently started eating Quaker w/skim milk, T of walnuts, cinnamon and a chopped banana or apple.

Thanks, Melissa

I buy my steel cut oats in the bulk section at Wild Oats. It is very reasonably priced that way. Tastes exactly the same as McCann's.

Steel cut oats are less processed than old fashioned oatmeal. Oat groats are the least processed form of oats. Steel cut oats are groats cut into two or three pieces. Old fashioned oatmeal is the groat, steamed, and then rolled flat.

Hi Ladies,

I get my oats already cooked and frozen from Trader Joe's it only takes 4 minutes to prepare and they taste very good. I add 1 Splenda and frozen blueberries and strawberries.
