If you are familiar with food blogs you will see a plethora of oatmeal recipes but I couldn't find many for baked steel cut oats. I love this idea because I can stick it in my toaster oven and forget it until after I take my shower, do my hair and makeup. This one is also gluten free and dairy free.
I tried several different methods before posting the final recipe. I tried covered, uncovered and various temperatures but when it comes to steel cut oats there's no rushing them. Good things come to those who wait though, so trust me, this is worth the 30 to 35 minute wait.
This can either be made right when you are ready to cook or you can make several batches up and leave them, covered, in the refrigerator. This morning I simply popped a pre-made one right from the refrigerator into the toaster oven on 400F and took my shower. It was all toasty and warm when I was ready.

Sounds heavenly! And I gotta say - I looked for the unsweetened vanilla almond breeze in my grocery store, and they only had it in refrigerated half-gallons, not not the quart-sized cartons. I knew I'd never get through the half gallon before it expired, so I settled for the original variety in the quart carton. So then I saw in your link that I could get 12 cartons for $22.95 - that works out to a good deal less than I paid. Well too bad when I clicked to order I found that shipping is $30?! ouch. I guess I'll keep looking around!
