This is from a wonderful book, The Ultimate Rice Cooker Cookbook, by Hensperger and Kaufmann. It makes a wonderful, creamy oatmeal with no watching or muss or fuss. Definitely use steel-cut oats, which have a wonderful texture, so superior to the regular stuff. I usually use dried cranberries, raisins or currants, instead of the dates.

SERVES 2 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

2/3 cup steel cut oats
1 2/3 cups milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 pinch fine sea salt
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1/2 cup chopped dates

Directions

1
Place all ingredients, except dates, in cooker; stir gently to combine; sprinkle dates on top.
2
Close the cover, set on Porridge cycle.
3
NOTE1: This recipe is designed for a rice cooker with fuzzy logic - use the porridge setting. If you have a regular rice cooker, you will need to watch it to determine when the oatmeal is done, probably 25 to 30 minutes, depending on your cooker.
4
NOTE2: Steel cut oats vary slightly. With some brands I find I need to reduce the milk to 1 1/2 cup to get the right consistency.
5
NOTE3: You can substitute vanilla flavored soy milk for the milk plus vanilla extract.

I love being able to cook oatmeal in the rice cooker! I found that this was a little too thick for me as written, next time I'll add a bit more milk, as a another reviewer suggested. Thanks for posting!

Unfortunately I only had old-fashioned oatmeal but I found it delicious just the same.I snipped some dried apricots instead of dates and it was lovely.I made the mistake of letting it cook longer than 10 minutes so it overflowed a bit but that did'nt detract from the recipe at all.

I also use The Ultimate Rice Cooker Cookbook. This is SO INCREDIBLE and CONVENIENT! I make the recipe for the plain steel cut oatmeal cereal. I use 3 cups water to 1 cup oats and let it sit overnight and in the morning I just start my rice cooker's porridge cycle. By the time I am done getting ready for work, our breakfast oatmeal is done and we each add our different toppings. It's easy then to make a scrambled egg white omlet to go with it. I have a 10 Cup rice cooker.

I bought some steel cut oats at the store yesterday and wasn't sure if I'd like them. I've never had them before so I decided to try this recipe because it sounded so good. I only used 1 1/2 cups of milk because I like my oatmeal with a thicker consistency and used a sugar substitute for the maple syrup. I also used raisins that I added with all the other ingredients so they'd plump up This turned out so great! I used my small Salton rice cooker and this was the perfect amount for it to cook. The oatmeal was done when it's cycle was over (it only has an on-off switch). Anyway, this turned out awesome thank you duonyte!
