I absolutely love this slow-cooked oatmeal. The steel-cut oats have so much flavor and texture. My family sprinkles toasted pecans on top whenever possible. —Angela Lively, Conroe, Texas

Health tip
  • Boost protein with a dollop of vanilla Greek yogurt (it will help you stay full longer).
    • Test Kitchen tips
  • Keep an eye on this as it nears the end of cooking to prevent overcooking at the edges, especially if your slow cooker runs hot.
  • It's important in this recipe to use steel-cut oats, which need to cook longer than rolled oats. You might find them labeled as Irish oats.
