Steel cut oats are not as soft as other oat varieties; however, like many large grains, they benefit from a long cooking process. We recommend getting your oatmeal ready the night before so you can wake up to a delicious, hot bowl on a crisp fall morning. Make the topping mixture ahead too so it is ready to spoon on or stir into the slow cooker to also warm through. Be sure to top your bowl with any of your favourite toppings or a big spoonful of Ontario yogurt if you prefer.
