Stop refrigerating overnight oats. The cold clump of grains is far from inviting. Not to mention, there’s barely a trace of flavor left in the jar come morning. A slow cooker can fix all that. These overnight steel cut oats stew on low while you snooze the night away. For a refreshing change, you’ll wake to a bowl of steamy oatmeal that offers a sweet-salty sensation with every spoonful.
