Steel Cut Oat Granola Recipes

Quick & easy way to cook steel cut oats

This is the basic recipe for oatmeal in a crockpot. The ratio is established here and you can tinker with the ingredients as you like. If you add dried fruit, use a little more water.

It's getting to that time of year where leaves change, apples are an abundance,crisp air and best of all the smell of fall. To me the smell of fall is baked pumpkin, apple pie and warm comfort food. Well we can have that in a more healthy way! Get that oven heated and try some yummy Pumpkin Granola! Take your fall apple, put on some Peanut Butter and top with some pumpkin granola! This granola is awesome with oatmeal, yogurt or by the handful! Great source of fiber and protein!! By the way, Holy Mother of Pumpkin! This is so good and clumpy!!! Enjoy!!

This tastes like rice pudding. It can be eaten any time and you can add almost anything to it that you like!I would not have put it in the dessert category, but I could not find a category that was appropriate. It makes a great breakfast, but you can eat it any time.

Deliciously chewy banana muffins. A great way to get in your steel cut oats!

This steel cut oats recipe is similar to Alton Brown's Food Network recipe, but it does not have the whole milk or buttermilk. I use 1% and it turns out great!

This granola makes a great bowl of cereal or yogurt topping. Gourmet granolas can be quite expensive, which is why I prefer to make my own. For the best results, choose old-fashioned (not quick) oats. Quick oats don’t crisp as nicely and tend to have a more powdery texture.

This was my first attempt at making my own granola, because let's face it--that stuff is expensive at the store! You can use any combination of your favorite nuts, seeds and dried fruit, but these are my favorites.

Better than store-bought, these granola bars include healthy almonds, whole grain, natural sweeteners and a touch of fruit.

Adapted from Mark Bittman's Food Matters. Versatile and so simple to make that there's no excuse for having the expensive, sweet and fattening commercial varieties ever again!

Granola is incredibly affordable when you make it yourself. This recipe combines some of my favorite ingredients: maple syrup, almond butter and seeds!

I fell in love with the Kashi Coco Beach granola last year, but no one is carrying it where I live anymore. It was also pretty expensive for a small package, and had 9 grams of fat per 1/2 cup serving. So this recipe is my attempt to recreate a yummy chocolate coconut granola and knock down some of the fat at the same time. The calories in this version are just below the original (224 vs. 230), but the fat was reduced from 9g to 3g without losing any of the protein (both have 6g of protein)!

A store near my daughter's house in California has peanut butter granola in the bulk food section. But I couldn't find it anywhere near my house in Illinois, so I found this recipe online and made my own. Now I'm glad I couldn't find it at the store. It's cheaper and I can control the ingredients that are used.

I reworked a recipe on SparkPeople for the Almond Joy Protein Bars a bit.

When soggy cereal and steel-cut oatmeal loses its appeal, whip up one of Dr. Oz and Dr. Roizen's favorite breakfast treats!

Healthy homemade granola. Perfect with milk, ice cream or yogurt. Or, use it as a base for Tennessee Trailmix

Call it a parfait, call it a sundae, call it anything you want. Just call on it at snack time.
