Tuesday's Twist: A basic recipe with a fun twist. In other words, just another excuse for me to play around with weird recipes I've been dying to try.
I think I still have a Thanksgiving food hangover. So before I jump into my usual overkill of Christmas treats I figured some oatmeal was in order. Somewhere along the line I bought a large bag of steel-cut oats. Why? Hmmm, a good question. I wish I remembered my exact plans for these little grains. But alas, there they sit in the pantry, nearly untouched.
Steel-cut oats are oat grains that have been cut into 2 to 3 pieces rather than rolled and flattened into flakes. They retain a chewier texture than rolled oats and take between 20 to 40 minutes to cook (depending on you texture preference). Time has been the deal breaker thus far. I just can't wait that long for breakfast. So instead of 40 minutes at the stove, I threw them in the slow cooker to cook for 6 hours. I know.
