anyone still here? ever since pinterest arrived, we've posted less and less. sadness.
So - I'm wondering what y'all think about these?
Have you tried steel-cut oats?
What do you like about them?
How do you cook them?
Have you tried the crock-pot method?
Please post your favorite recipe for them.
I'm ready to give them a go.
I like the steel cut oats, they have more crunch and less mush to them. I have only ever cooked them either on the stove or in the microwave but them seem to make a huge mess in the microwave. I like to cook mine with milk (same ratio as water to oats given on package) and then add brown sugar and some fruit and nuts. I really like a banana/pecan combo. There are a few crock-pot recipes on pinterest that look really good but I haven't tried any yet. Good luck, let me know what you try.
ReplyDeleteI know this blog is slowly dying. It's sad. It seem like there have been others to start their own recipe blogs I have wondered if its worth still having. :(
ReplyDeleteAnyway, to your question about oats...I don't like cooked mushy oats. My mom gave me a sample of steel cut oats, so I have tried them, but I haven't purchased them, because quick oats are cheaper and we are still on a very tight budget. I don't cook my oats, I mix the same ratio of milk, oats, and plain yogurt and let them soak over night, (or if I forgot to start it the night before I will let it sit for at least 10 min, but it doesn't get as thick), then I like to add peanut butter and banana, (nuts if it isn't chunky peanut butter and if I don't have a banana I will add some type of sugar.) They are called overnight oats. I got the idea from http://ohsheglows.com She has a lot of overnight oat recipes. I didn't have all the fancy ingredients that she uses, so I adapted it to what I have. I would love to know what you try and how you like it.
I'm with Jolene, I don't cook them, and i think you'd like steel cut! They're more crunchy and more nutritious because the nutrients aren't steamed out like rolled oats are. I like them in coconut milk with fresh fruit and coconut :)
ReplyDeleteI heard Daniel (my brother) likes 'em cooked for breakfast. And it's just this month I even heard of them! From Mom and now you all. We have had lots of oats in food storage and I haven't even looked for any at the store in ages. I'm interested.
ReplyDeleteSo we tried some Coach's Oats brand of a type of steel cut oats and just cooked with water or milk on the stove for 5 min. and added brown sugar and milk. Nice and not as sticky/mushy as quick oatmeal. The best morning was with canned peaches and some cream :).
