The only problem I have with steel cut oats is that they take lot

That's why I do them overnight in the crockpot.

Could you share the recipe please?

It's outrageously simple. The basic recipe is 1 cup
steel cut oats, 4 cups of water, and 1/2 cup of half & half
(or cream, or milk, or whatever), plus a pinch of salt. Toss
it all in the crockpot and cook on low overnight.
You can add cinnamon, dried fruits, or whatever else
strikes your fancy. I usually just put cinnamon in the oatmeal
while it's cooking, and then lay out assorted dried fruit, fruit,
brown sugar, butter, cream, etc. (whatever's on hand) to mix in.

That was pretty good. Way more filling than the rolled oats so far. But I am
the only one who likes it. How does it reheat? I am a tad scared to try!
ANyway, if you don't answer, I will find out on my own tomorrow morning. But
thanks for the tip. I have been struggling with finding a healthy breakfast
that met certain concerns, primarily the addition of fruits and/or veggies.
I added mashed banana this am. I can easily imagine adding pureed pumpkin or
squash or sweet potato, which I add to puff up the veggie content in
casseroles and such. Anyway, thanks again. Tasty.
