Crock Pot Mixed Grain Porridge Recipe

Crock pot mixed grain porridge (adapted from "Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker Cookbook" by Beth Hensperger and Julie Kaufmann)

1/2 cup steel-cut oats

3/4 cup wild and brown rice blend (or use any combo of rices)

1/2 cup millet

1/4 cup stone-ground grits

3 Tbsp flax seeds

5 1/2 cups water

pinch of salt

Combine everything in a medium crock pot (I used a 3 1/2 quart one) and cook on low for 8-9 hours. Serve with dried fruit, nuts, honey, or anything else that comes to mind. To reheat, add a splash of water or milk before microwaving. Serves 6.

Steel-Cut Oats in the Crockpot and Steel-Cut Oats with Agave and Pecans

To cook the steel cut oats:
1 cup steel cut oats
5 cups water (or less for extra thick oats)
1/2 tsp. salt (do not skip the salt)

Combine steel cut oats, water, and salt in crockpot. (I sprayed the crock with non-stick spray to prevent sticking.) Cook on low, stirring every hour or so. After 3 hours start checking to see if the oats are as done as you'd like. I cooked the oats in this photo for 3 hours and 15 minutes, but a larger batch or an older model crockpot will take longer.

Steel Cut Oats with Agave and Pecans - 1 serving:


1 cup cooked steel cut oats, still hot from crockpot or heated in microwave for a few minutes
1 T agave nectar (I tried both Hazelnut flavored agave and amber agave and both were great)
6-8 pecans, coarsely chopped with knife (could also use almonds or pistachios)

Put hot oats in a bowl, drizzle with agave nectar and sprinkle nuts over. (If you're reheating the steel cut oats in the microwave, you may want to add a few tablespoons of water before you microwave them.)
