Yummy and Super Easy Crock Pot Oatmeal image

Tip for oatmeal: make it in the crock pot overnight! It comes out very creamy from the slow cooking, and I love being able to get up and have that hot steamy bowl right away without having to do anything at all. You do have to clean up the crock pot, but you can make a large quantity and refrigerate the leftovers to be heated in the microwave for the next several days. I use two cups of oatmeal at a time, which is enough for four breakfasts (for me, anyway; probably more for people who don't have huge bowls like I do).

Time 10h5m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups old fashioned oats (I get this in bulk from my food co-op, if you used the quick cooking ones, it might be even creamier)
6 cups water, I think you need more than usual because of the long cooking time
cinnamon (optional)
dried fruits (optional)
spices (optional)

Steps:

  • Put the oats and the water, along with anything else you want to add to the mix in the crock pot, turn on to low, and go to bed thinking about what a great breakfast you're going to have!
  • I scoop it out of the crock pot and eat it with maple syrup, or blueberry syrup, or pourable fruit, and soy milk--yum!
  • To reheat leftovers, I usually add a little water, and stir it a couple of times while microwaving until it's hot.
  • You can add other flavorings as you like, such as dried fruits, other sweet spices, diced apples, etc.
  • I usually put raisins on after it's cooked because I like them chewy.
  • I've been meaning to try dried cranberries.
