I just discovered steel cut oats. Yeah, I know, I live under a rock. I've been eating Bob's Red Mill Steel Cut Oats, add some nuts, dried fruit and a teeny bit of brown suger. Yummers.

I'm going to try the crock pot method.

The crock pot method was really easy and they turned out amazingly well. It sure made a mess in the crock pot though. The nice thing is that I put the leftovers in a plastic container in the frig and just heated them up in the microwave the next morning.

I added little brown sugar, butter, milk and raisins to mine and it was very good. The problem is that my blood sugar really dropped about 2 hours after I ate them which I really didn't expect. I thought the reason you ate oatmeal is to keep that from happening. This happened both times and the second time I used sweetener instead of brown sugar. Has anyone else had this happen?

I just baked some for "breakfast" (which got some strawberry frozen yogurt thrown on top for dessert!).

I did 3.5 cups milk, 1 cup oats, 2 chopped up apples, 1/2 cup raisins, cinnamon, fake sugar (I know, I know), and it was amazing. I decided to just consider it dessert (and breakfast in the morning).
