8 cups of pure water
2 cups of steel-cut oats
Combine ingredients and cook in a crockpot on low for approximately six hours.
Makes 8+ servings.
This is a super easy way to prepare healthy steel-cut oatmeal. Great for a cold winter day’s brunch -- maybe before a cross-county ski outing. I eat mine with a large amount of cinnamon (which has many health benefits including the regulation of blood sugar; it’s also a strong antioxidant and powerful anti-inflammatory), and a sprinkling of raw almonds bits. These act to lower the glycymic load of the oatmeal. I also add up to three teaspoons of chia seeds, even better for you than flax seeds!
Tip: After the cooked oatmeal cools, put individual servings into freezer bags. You can have prepared oatmeal quickly by reheating a portion.
Enjoy!
