Do you make oatmeal pucks?
Maybe you already know about this cook trick but I’ve been making these time saving oatmeal pucks for the past year and thought it was high time I share this freezer meal with you.
I love steel cut oats.
I love the texture of steel cut oats way better than regular oatmeal. For some reason, they just seem more hearty.
More of a stick to your ribs fill you up until lunch time kinda thing.
Anyway, I made a batch of them the other day and snapped a few photos.
Recipe – Oatmeal Pucks
Use the cup that came with your rice cooker {*rice cup} to measure out 1 ½ cups of steel cut oats. Add water to the fill line {about 4.5 cups}.
Press the “steel cut oats” button.
*A “rice cup” is equivalent to about a ¾ cup standard measuring cup.
After the oats are cooked, I stir in some milk and then freeze the oats in 1 cup portion sizes.
On days I feel like steel cut oats for breakfast, I simply toss an oatmeal puck in a bowl with a little sprinkle of brown sugar and some fruity bits and then pop the bowl in the microwave for about 2 ½ minutes.
Sometimes I add a little extra milk. Sometimes I don’t.
A warm breakfast in 2 minutes 30 seconds? Yes please!
I LOVE my rice cooker! It’s so much easier to cook a batch of steel cut oats in a rice cooker than to hang around the stovetop stirring a pot of oats for a half an hour.
Oatmeal pucks. They are so easy to make!! Do you make these too?
That’s it. That’s all I’ve got for today. 🙂

P.S. What do YOU like to add to your oatmeal? Anything exciting?

Good morning, Mavis! I love oatmeal and would love to try your oatmeal puck idea. Can you recommend a rice cooker….some of my friends have not recommended rice cookers. Thank you!

This is the one we bought in 2021 and use it at least once, sometimes twice a week. Expensive, but worth it in my opinion. https://amzn.to/3P1459q

Yes! We bought ours in 2018. Best rice cooker ever and actually I am surprised the price is still decent.

What a great idea even for regular old fashion oatmeal! I love it. I add a bit of cinnamon, 2 chopped and peeled Gala apples (in small pieces), some molasses and cook. At the end some milk. That’s it but oh so good. Seems I am on a molasses kick as of late.
