Q: I love steel-cut oats for their texture and nutrition, but all I do with them is make oatmeal. Do you have any suggestions for using them in baked-goods or other interesting preperations?

Editor: Yes! I love adding a scoop of steel-cut oats to baked goods. It adds a nice texture and a subtle oaty flavor. If you’re making a slow-rising recipe, like one of the no-knead breads, throw them in raw. Otherwise, add a scoop of cooked oats to the batter for muffins, quickbreads, or even pancakes.
