I want to feed my family whole grains and have found by experimenting that I can (wash first) one cup of oat groats and add 4 cups of water and cook the groats overnight (6 to 8 hrs) on low in my crock pot. They are ready in the morning. I have added raisins and other fruit and sometimes cinnamon to the groats while cooking. OR, one may add the fruit raw after cooking the groats. Easy and nutritious - and delicious!

Groats are not the same as steel cut. Steel cut, as named are Cut. They are made to cook quicker than a whole groat. Glue the steel cut back together and you have the groat. It's the whole oat, hauled and ready to go. Dig in and enjoy - that's our family breakfast tomorrow. Yum.

Pardon my ignorance (I see I am not alone in it.) What in the world are Groats?

The groats are the steel-cut oatmeal, correct? I like the steel-cut more than the rolled oats, but they take a while to cook on the stove top. Making them in a slow cooker makes it a lot easier. I've made grits in the slow cooker over night as well. I use the 5 minute grits...let them cook over night, and they are perfect in the morning.
