Wake up to a delicious and healthy breakfast the whole family will love with this simple Blueberry Pie Crockpot Steel-Cut Oatmeal!

The truth is that I don't really even like pie.
I mean I don't hate pie (who hates pie?) but it's not my dessert of choice. I'd choose a brownie/cookie/blondie/ice cream/chocolate over pie any day. Admit that you want to eat this pot o' oatmeal like ten times more now that I've called it pie. Mmmmmhmmm.
But really, this oatmeal is like the best of both worlds---all those heart-healthy oats with cholesterol-lowering soluble fiber paired with the subtle sweetness from granola and coconut...heaven in a bowl, my frands.
Oatmeal is one of two go-to breakfasts that I recommend to my clients (the other being a smoothie). Why? Because it has one single ingredient that happens to be super good for you. Oats are minimally processed and packed with fiber, energizing B vitamins, and plant-powered protein.
Did I mention that they're easy to prepare? Easy preparation means people will actually go home and make them. Suggesting making oatmeal with almond butter for breakfast and suggesting buckwheat chia pancakes with maple cashew cream are two very, very different things.
I love that each bowl of oatmeal has a totally different personality. While I like mine with a bit of sea salt, raw almond butter, and berries, other people like it with maple syrup, nanners, and cinnamon. As long as you don't dump a truckload of brown sugar into it, I'm a happy gal.
Adding granola to this oatmeal is what took it to the pie level.
I have this crockpot at home and it always gets the job done!

I love oatmeal with almond butter or peanut butter and some type of berry. I also love cinnamon rolls and pancakes, but only on special days!
Samantha says
Since moving home I've gotten my mom on the green smoothie train- banana, spinach, blueberries, almond milk- which we basically alternate every day with oatmeal. Can't wait to try oats in the crockpot!

I love to have dippy eggs with toast or a stuffed omlette on the weekends. During the week I stick to oats or overnight oats. Thanks for this!
Kristal says
WW toast, w/fresh ground peanut butter / banana topper and a swizzle of local honey
Carly says
OH yes!! I love oatmeal anyways, so add all of those yummy ingredients, and I'm hooked. One of my favorite morning meals is whole wheat bread + pb2 + sliced bananas.
Thanks,

My favorite breakfast is actually leftover pumpkin pie after Thanksgiving! This year, I didn't get any actual pie on the holiday, so I made myself an extra healthy pumpkin pie just for breakfast. I used lots of oats, ground flax, and just a few tablespoons of honey!

I go back and forth between oats (with banana and a nut butter mixed in) and a couple of eggs and a side of veggies. I could eat eggs 3 meals a day and be content!

I love just about any breakfast food. I recently became addicted to oatmeal (never liked it as a kid). I eat it pretty plain, but I keep seeing these yummy, jazzed up oats, and I really can't wait to try them!
I love French toast, omelettes, smoothies and as a treat, eggs Benedict.
Kate says
Lately I have been mixing an egg + 1/3 cup of oats + splash of almond milk for a breakfast pancake. With peanut butter, of course.
By the way, your website is blocked on my school's wifi. Weird, right?
