Never done the toasting thing, look forward to trying that.

Personally, I’m a big fan of bananas in my oatmeal, just added at the end. Other thing I do give is grate in some sweet potato. Healthy and adds an nice texture. Couple drops of vanilla are good too…

Wow!! I love all the suggestions here for making this a more “instant” dish…from soaking overnight in the refrigerator, to the rice cooker with a timer on it. I might let my dad try that one, seeing as how he’s got the rice cooker….
All I can say is, this was a great recipe. I used coconut oil to toast the oats in and it adds such a nice flavor component. Also, a 1/4 tsp of blackstrap molasses and 1 T of maple syrup.
Yummmmm…
This was a hit!!

Hi Lolo,
We are vegetarians, and I stumbled on your post yesterday. I showed your web site to my family and my daughter was saying I should buy your book.
Your site and all the recipes are awesome.
Please let me know where I can buy your book.
Thanks.
Meera

I’ve been experimenting with my rice cooker and discovered, lo and behold, you can make this in it with as much ease as making rice. I just toss everything in the night before - I like the steel cut oats with crasins, and then with some light cream and a bit of sugar on top for breakfast - and set the timer for when you want it ready. It totally eliminates the 40-odd minutes of cook time steel cut will need. They’re just as easy as rolled or instant, and so much more tasty!

This looks so comforting and scrumptious, Lolo - I LOVE steel-cut oats, and always add either fresh fruit (in the summer months - yes, I eat oatmeal all year round, not just in the winter) or dried fruit. Have you ever tried the oatmeal with DRIED apples? I find the flavor to be stronger (in a good way) than when using fresh apples; and there’s less chopping involved! :0)

I was under the (false) impression that steel cut oats were WAY better for you than rolled oats. So this post made me happy - I can make oatmeal cookies without feeling guilty for using the “less healthy” kind. I’m not even sure where I got that idea.

But I LOVE the flavor of steel cut oats - the brand I use (McCann’s) makes a “quick and easy” kind, that’s just chopped a litle smaller, so cooking takes only 10-15 minutes. I recommend it!

I’ve been using a different method recently. The night before I boil 1 qt water, and add that to 1 C steel-cut oats. stir, and go to sleep. When I get up, I cook them for maybe 3-5 minutes. I add some maple syrup, cinnamon, and raw sugar. Scoop into a bowl with some soy milk and raisins. The rest goes in the refrigerator for breakfast the rest of the week.

The first time I added the raisins the night before for the soak. Whoops. I ended up with grapes again. Not an enjoyable mouth feel.

I loved maple and brown sugar oatmeal growing up. To this day, it’s the only flavour I will eat. I think I’ll give this recipe a try, though. It looks promising.

Usually when I make homemade oatmeal, it tastes… kinda… slimy. So wish me luck! haha
