One thing that I love about speaking at different MOPS groups is that I always end up learning something new myself! At a recent MOPS talk I gave one woman shared that she made steel cut oats overnight with the use of her crockpot. What a fabulous idea! So, I looked up some recipes online and I’m going to give it a try.

On one of the posts someone had left a comment that they cook steel cut oats overnight a different way. The commenter suggests that one can simply “bring 3 cups water, 1/4-1/2 tsp. salt and 1 cup steel cut oats to a boil. Cover the pan and remove from heat. In the morning, put what you’ll eat into a microwaveable bowl and warm it up.” I thought this option sounded even easier than hauling out the crockpot so I plan to give this a go as well.

Trader Joe’s sells steel cut oats pre-cooked in it’s freezer section. This suggests that steel cut oats might freeze well so if there are any leftovers I’m going to try to freeze a portion.

Here’s a link to the recipes I’m going to try. Steel cut crockpot oats, Alton’s Overnight Oatmeal

Let me know if you have any of your own tips or tricks. I’ll let you know how it goes!
