Oatmeal ideas?

Crock Pot Oatmeal:

1 cup steel-cut oats
1 cup raisins, cranberries, or dried fruit of choice
4 cups water
½ cup milk, half and half, or buttermilk
2 tablespoons of cinnamon or pumpkin spice
2 tablespoons of maple syrup

In a crock pot, combine all ingredients. Cook on low heat
(covered) for 7-9 hours. Stir and serve. *For non-dairy
oatmeal, try adding applesauce, apple butter, or almond
butter instead of dairy products.

Okay I HATE oatmeal, but know it's good for me. I attempted to make a few recipes with steel cut oats. I found and fell in love with the oatmeal at Jamba Juice....so I googled a recipe. Yes, steel cut takes longer to good, but these cook in a rice cooker. OMG sooooo good. I do 1/2 water and 1/2 almond milk for the liquid. I do not add add'l sweetner (but follow the rest of the recipe)

stirring in some add'l almond milk when serving makes them especially creamy. I top with a lil bit of spiced nuts (homemade) and some dried fruit or raw sugar.

That sounds good gonna try.... Thanks!

I use the Quaker Whole Grain Oats and boy are they yummy:bigsmile: I cook it with almond milk, add brown sugar, cinnamon, dried cranberries, rasins, peaches, and chopped pecans on top..:flowerforyou:

I like the Maple and Brown Sugar instant oatmeal. Just getting used to eating it. I add cranberries, raisins and almonds. I have to have some texture and crunch.

Great ideas!
