Are Steel Cut Oats Better for You?
Because steel-cut oats are minimally processed, and because they contain more fiber and density than their counterparts, steel cut rolled oats are one of the healthiest grains you can eat.
Wow, I have been wasting so much time cooking our steel cut oats in the morning. Yes, I realize there are now quick cooking steel cut oats, but for a long time all I could find were the regular so I was cooking them in the morning and it was taking forever! The other day I had a bunch of peaches to use up and decided to try my hand at peaches and cream slow cooker overnight steel cut oats. They turned out wonderful and we will for sure be enjoying them all year long, especially since school starts so early and Cade and I want to keep up our tradition of having breakfast time as a family each morning. We gather as a family, read our scriptures and eat a yummy breakfast before everyone heads out in different directions. Such a simple thing to do and only takes a little waking up a few minutes earlier to start our day off on the right foot.
Are Peaches Healthy for You?
Peaches contain vitamin A which promotes eye health.
Peaches are a source for dietary fiber.
Fiber contributes to digestive health, can help lower cholesterol levels (which is good news for the heart as well), and helps to keep you feeling fuller, longer after eating.

Have you tried this with other types of oats or only can be di switch steel cut?
Sorry, typed with one hand, nursing ha ha. I meant done with
Ha! That’s my life story. 🙂 You can totally use regular oats, not quick, but you’ll want to decrease the time in the slow cooker slightly or just keep a good eye on it.
What size crockpot do you use for this? I have a large one and the last time I tried to do oatmeal in it, it burned because crockpot was too large.
Thanks
Hi Dana, it’s a standard crockpot, and I sprayed it well and checked on it right away in the morning, and it was fine.
LOVE your website & recipes, but the constant barrage of advertisements is unpleasant. Sometimes I have to click two or three of them to access a recipe. I’m just saying…
I’m so sorry about that. We have been working all week to figure out our ads. The tricky thing is, this is our full time job and it’s the ads that pay us, thus allowing the site to stay free and us to continue to post. To be truthful with you, we absolutely despise the ads. They are inconvenient when using the site and completely obnoxious so we feel your pain. I promise we are trying to figure out new placements to help make things more seamless. Thank you so, so much for writing and I hope you’ll continue to visit.
