Steel Cut Oatmeal

Crockpot Steel Cut Oatmeal

Steel cut oatmeal is chunkier and heartier than oatmeal made with instant or rolled oats, because steel cut oats are less processed than rolled oats.

Steel cut oats are the best oats for making Crockpot oatmeal. Rolled oats get mushy in the Crockpot, but steel cut oatmeal can withstand the longer cooking time without breaking down.

Steel cut oatmeal is also sometimes called Irish oatmeal or Scottish oatmeal. McCann's and Quaker both make steel cut oatmeal that's available in most supermarkets.
