Expert Tips
- Soak steel-cut oats in the milk (or whatever liquid you choose) overnight to make cooking them go faster in the morning. It's the best way to quicken the process the next morning!
- Make a big batch of steel-cut oats on your meal prep day to feed you all week long. Divvy into individual microwaveable containers (e.g. mason jars) and refrigerate for up to a week. So long as your toppings aren’t prone to oxidization (e.g. fresh apples, fresh bananas), you’re welcome to add them as well.
- Want to use a slow cooker instead of heating on the stove top? No problem! Spray the slow cooker with cooking spray, add the ingredients into your slow cooker and allow to cook on low for 4 hours. If using quick cooking steel cut oats rather than regular steel cut oats, the cook time will reduce by half to two hours!
