Not that oats are a big deal to make ever, BUT, it is so comforting and encouraging to have a hot nutritious breakfast waiting for you in the morning. These Crockpot Steel Cuts Oats are sweetened naturally with an apple cooked in them. I love it in a big bowl with lots of toppings – like fresh chopped apple, toasted walnuts & a sprinkle of cinnamon; or bananas & berries; or sliced peaches & toasted pecans; or shaved dark chocolate & coconut flakes. We could go on and on! The point is, steel cut oats are amazing. They are chewier, heartier, and fulfilling. They have immense health benefits. I’m a big believer in the power of oats to do everything from lower cholesterol to aid in weight loss. Enjoy! And, let me know what you top your oatmeal bowl with!

Cashew milk? Just soaking raw cashews overnight in water? Please explain.
Lisa
Can we substitute soy milk?
Hi Lisa! Absolutely you could substitute soy milk. By the way, for some crockpots 8 hours is too long. Stick to 7- 7 1/2. All crockpots seem to have their own personalities! Also – Cashew milk can be purchased in the refrigerated section where you buy soy milk. Some people do make their own. We go through it too fast! It’s super creamy, so we will use it in addition to Almond Milk;)
You know I love this recipe! Could you give tips for converting it to Instant Pot friendly?
Oh, man. I’m not an insta-pot expert (yet), but we can find out!!!
Hey, friend! I did it in the IP! Manual, high pressure, 4 minutes on sealed. 10 minutes natural vent, then remove . They’re great!
