The secret to cooking steel cut oats is to let them soak in water for 24 hours before you cook them that way you only have to cook them for only about 15-20 minutes every one should do that

I’ve made these oats several times and they’re delicious every time. I usually double the recipe to have enough for my husband and I to eat for breakfast through the week. I use my rice cooker to make them, but it only has one setting for whole grains and doesn’t turn off automatically. I usually cook for 25 minutes, stir and cook another 20 if it is only one batch- if more than one, it may take an additional 15-20 minutes. I’ve also substituted the dates for raisins, dried cranberries, etc. This has become a go to favorite in our house!

I made a batch of these oats yesterday for breakfasts during the week. This was my first time trying Medjool dates, and I loved them in this dish! I made mine on the stove-top and added milk and chopped walnuts to serve. It was nice and quick to reheat this morning. I plan to make this again!

I’ve been ready for spring since the clocks went back in September! So far it’s been unseasonally warm but it started to get colder this weekend and it’s been sunnier which helps, although true to form, it’s still raining! I’m not keen on oatmeal and we call it porridge which makes it even less appealing but maybe I should try the steel cut oats and see if they convert me?

I am a slow cooker steel cut oats kind of girl because I don’t have a rice cooker. However, I use one of the little ones that don’t have different settings, like you would use to serve queso. I just put in one cup of steel cut oats and three cups of water and plug it in. It takes about 2 hours for the oats to cook…when all of the water is almost absorbed, I add whatever fun ingredients I have on hand and cook it the rest of the way.

I just bought dates for the first time, so now I am going to have try this recipe! As soon as I get sick of my bagel-a-day habit, I will be moving on to some oatmeal breakfasts.
