Short Cut Slow Cooker Oatmeal

I’ve been very successfully using my Slow Cooker Oatmeal technique for years and think it produces the best results for creamy steel cut oats that still have a bit of texture.

Having said that, last week, I was in a hurry with just 3-4 hours on my hands and decided to throw all the ingredients directly to the slow cooker and see what happens. What happened are great oats! I must admit that the overnight technique in a separate bowl does produce the best results, but in a rush, this is pretty great too.

Ingredients:

• 4 cups water
• 1 cup steel cut oats ( I use McCann’s Steel Cut Irish Oatmeal)
• ½ tsp. Kosher salt

Directions:

1. Add the water, oats and salt in a slow cooker (crockpot) and stir to combine.
2. Turn the Crockpot on low and cook for 3 hours.
3. Serve with a generous splash of Quebec maple syrup.

Makes 6 servings.
