I'd encourage you to experiment with this idea. There all kinds of myths about cooking with both oats and steel cut oats. I eat them for breakfast every morning microwaved for 3 minutes. They are not quick oats. No soaking. Nothing complicated.
I should also say I was making no bake peanut butter chocolate oatmeal no bake cookies. I had some extra steel cut oats and threw them in uncooked and they were fine.
Unless you cook them first you would have a tooth breaking topping. They require hours of soaking to make them edible. Toppings always call for flaked oats
Nancy Essig - You're right. Thanks for reminding me/us of the need for soaking.
Jane Coombs - Have a look at this handy cheat sheet from McCain's for substituing steel-cut for other oats.

The tips came from McCann, the Irish oats company.
Not from McCain, the Canadian potato company.
