Crockpot Oatmeal
Mmmm....tried this recipe this morning, delicious....and that's sayin something because I'm not a huge fan of cooked oats.
The great thing about this too: You make it the night before, so breakfast is ready when you wake up!
CROCKPOT OATMEAL (made enough for me, husband, & two kids)
1 cup steel cut oats **
2 cups water
2 1/2 cups milk
1 tsp cinnamon
Combine and stir in crockpot. Cook on low for 8-9 hours.
Top with honey, pure maple syrup, nuts, raisins, or fruit. I added honey to mine this morning, it was so good!
** It is key to use steel cut oats. They are the least processed of all different kinds of oats. (rolled oats go through a steaming process) If you use regular oats, you will get a soupy mush cooked to oblivion. Also a little warning, steel cut oats are more pricey. I plan on using them just for this crockpot recipe. But, I really really liked them...so to me...it was worth it. I will, however, keep looking for a better, more affordable way to continue purchasing them.
