Recently, I've begun making this for breakfast Sunday mornings--I can throw the ingredients into the slow cooker the night before and just turn it to low before I go to bed, and when we wake up, we have a healthy breakfast ready to eat. Steel cut oats are much more effective at removing cholesterol from your bloodstream, they are a great source of fiber, and they have a nutty taste and texture when prepared well.
Ingredients
1 cup steel cut or Irish Oats
2 1/2 cups water
scant 1/2 cup of half-n-half
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup dried blueberries (you can also try dried cherries, cranberries, raisins, etc.)
2 Tbsp. brown sugar
Using a small 2 quart slow-cooker (available at Walmart for about $10), stir together all ingredients. Set cooker to low and allow to cook for 8 to 9 hours. (I usually prep this after dinner and put the crock in the refrigerator until bedtime--then I just pop it in the base and turn it on before bed).
In the morning, serve with additional brown sugar or maple syrup, if desired.
