Steel cut oats take FOREVER to cook when you do it on the stove top. So I do it my small crock pot overnight and they are delightful. I love to come down in the morning, switch on the coffee pot and go scoop out a bowl of warm, comforting oatmeal. Mmmm.
You might notice I use a variety of different toppings on mine. I find that adding lots of fruit and berries gives it so much flavor that you don’t need to add much sugar, plus it helps me to stay full even longer.
