Crockpot Steel Cut Oats is the perfect breakfast for busy folks! A healthy filling vegan breakfast to make in your crock pot!
Why use a Crockpot?
Crockpots are a lifesaver because they allow to enjoy this wonderful oat without having stand over the stove waiting for their oats to simmer. I can come in from the days events, put on my breakfast for the next day and do a million other things I need to do.
Why this recipe works?
- You’re using a crockpot! Like I mentioned above the crockpot use in this recipe saves a ton of time. You literally throw all your ingredients in a pot, set the timer, close the lid and let it do it’s thing.
- Make Ahead Breakfast. This recipe is perfect for meal prep because it makes A LOT and can last all week long. If you double the batch you can even freeze it for months ahead!
- Versatile Toppings. Here I use my caramelized banana topping recipe in featured in my 28 Day Meal Plan Guide.

It’s super simple. Almost so simple that you don’t need instructions (almost 😉). Gather all your ingredients and add them to a crockpot. Cook on low for 3 hours and go do other things with your day. Once done it will be super creamy (yum! 😋) and you can serve with your choice of toppings. I love eating these with my caramelized bananas 28 Day Vegan With Curves Meal Plan Guide.
Vegan With Curves Star Ingredient
Steel cut oats is the star of this recipe. Both steel cut oats and the familiar rolled oats you see commonly in the store come from whole oat groats the difference is in how they ate processed. Steel cut oats are whole oat groats that have been cut with a steel blade hence the name steel cut oats. They are less processed than instant oats or rolled oats. Steel Cut oats are a Curvy Carbohydrate having 29 grams per every 1/4 cup.
How to make this Waste/Weight Release (Weight Loss) Friendly?
- Leave out the peanut butter as it adds more calories to the dish.
- Use berries as your toppings instead of extra bananas.
- Lower the portions per serving.
If you never had steel cut oats before this recipe is the perfect introduction! It will keep in your refrigerator all week long (5 – 7 days) and you can even freeze it for 1 – 2 months. Enjoy!
