Rice Cooker Oats

I posted a while back on cooking oats in my crock pot. I liked that recipe, but have found a better one using my rice cooker.


Before heading to bed I load my rice cooker with 1 cup Oat Groats or Steel Cut Oats. Then for every cup of oats I add 3 cups water. I add a few table spoons of honey and cinnamon and raisins (if desired).


Set the rice cooker on warm all night and the oats will be ready and warm in the morning. They are not dry, but moist.


Rice Cooker Oats

1 cup oat groats or steel cut
3 cups water
honey to taste
cinnamon to taste
raisins (optional)

Crock-Pot Steel Cut Oats

I felt I was super mom with the Crock-pot the other day. I had soaked some red beans the day before, put them to cook all day. I separated the cooked beans in 2 quart jars, then the rest I made a red bean chili in the crock.

The 2 quarts of red beans will be for dinners later on in the week.

So, after the chili was done for supper that evening, I washed the crock and set it for breakfast!
It cooked all night and was warm and ready to eat when we woke. Easy peasy!!!

Crock-Pot Steel Cut Oats

2 cups steel cut oats
6 cups water
1/3 cups honey
1/2 cup raisins
2 tsp cinnamon (or more to your liking)

Stir all ingredients into crock and set for 6 hours and 30 minutes on low. My new wonderful crock has a timer and once the time is out it automatically sets to warm. Very nice.
