Ingredients

2 cups quick cooking steel cut oats
3 & ⅓ cup water
1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk or other milk
⅓ cup maple syrup
coconut oil spray

Instructions

Cook Steel Cut Oats. I used my Instant Pot and cooked on high pressure for 4 minutes; then I let it Naturally Release for 4 minutes. You could also use your slow cooker, see notes for instructions!
After oats are done cooking add 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk (you may not need the additional liquid if you cook the oats using another method.) and ⅓ cup maple syrup. Stir to combine well.
Use cooking spray to grease a muffin tin.
Add ⅓ cup oats to each muffin hole and freeze.
Using a butter knife pop each individually frozen oat cups out of the muffin tin and store in a freezer bag with the date.

To reheat:

Reheat 1 muffin cup with ⅓ cup milk for 2-3 minutes. Stir and then top it with your desired toppings.

Notes

To make steel cut oats in the slow cooker: Add 2 cups steel cut oats (can use quick cook or regular), 4 cups water, 2 cups milk (any type), and maple syrup to slow cooker. Cook for 6-8 hours on low or 2-4 hours on high. Shorter time if you used quick cooking steel cut oats, longer cooking time if you used regular steel cut oats.
