Steel-cut Oats (better than packaged oatmeal)

My grandma gave me a Crockpot cookbook for two so I decided to try my first recipe! I have heard and read about steel-cut oats for awhile now. Apparently they are a lot healthier for you and taste better than the package oatmeal I have been eating my whole life and...I have to say it's true! Here is my recipe:

Look at my cute oatmeal jars! 

Ingredients

Steel-cut oats
Water
Soy milk
Ground flax
Dash of salt
Agave nectar (optional)

Toppings:
Cinnamon
Diced apples
Dried cranberries
Brown sugar
Berries
Bananas
Sliced Almonds
Soy milk


Directions


In the crockpot, combine oats, water/soy milk, dash of salt, ground flax (I used about 1 cup) and agave nectar (I used about 1-2 TBS). For every 1/4 cup oats put 1 cup of water and/or milk. For my first trial I made way too much, I used 2 cups oats, 6 cups water and 2 cups soy milk. It was enough for 8-10 breakfasts. Let it cook overnight for 8-9 hours on low.

Review


I love these oats! Also, knowing that they are healthier makes me feel better about having them for breakfast. I put dried cranberries, sliced almonds and brown sugar on mine. I put them in these cute jars and can easily transport them to work!
