I am a breakfast eater. Everyday of the week. We make time to savor breakfast on the weekends. On those days we usually make homemade pancakes or waffles. Sometimes we will bake muffins, scones or biscuits.
Weekdays…well that’s a whole other story. It’s grab what you can and eat it quick. Overnight Steel Cut Oats are perfect for weekdays. It just requires a small amount of planning the night before. In the morning, it’s ready!
Steel Cut Oats are hearty, delicious and good for you. In my book, it doesn’t get better than that!
My favorite toppings are blueberries, raspberries, pecans, and a touch of brown sugar. Then I drizzle just a bit of milk (or cream if I’m feeling really decadent!) over the top. Mmmmm-mmmmm-mmmmm!

August 6, 2016 at 10:09 amThanks Kathy. Prepared this a couple of days ago and since I’m the only one eating it, had enough for 3 “easy” meals. I had always prepared steel cut oats in a small crock pot before but this is even better.
