I couldnt find the original post to give credit... but I made this one yesterday. It makes 4 servings of 1 cup (very filling) and tastes oh so good!!! Per Serving 280 cal, 51 carb, 5 fat, 6 protein, 6 fiber, and only 48 sodium. Also, I've noticed many of the recipes posted on this thread are way too high in calories/fat/sugar for many of us. So I am starting a new thread for HEALTHY crockpot/slow cooker recipes:) Hope some of you will repost your recipes there.

ORIGINAL POST:
My favorite breakfast. I substitute margarine for the butter, abd I add either an entire apple or a can (10.75 oz) of pumpkin puree to a double batch. This also freezes well!!
Ingredients
1 cup steel cut oats
3 1/2 cups water
1 cup peeled and chopped apple (1 medium gala is perfect)
1/2 cup raisins
2 tablespoons butter (I used light margerine)
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons brown sugar (I used splenda brown sugar blend)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (I was out of extract so I used 1 Tbsp sugar free vanilla syrup that I use to make lattes)
Directions
Place the steel cut oats, water, apple, raisins, butter, cinnamon, brown sugar, and vanilla extract into a slow cooker, and stir to combine and dissolve the sugar. Cover the cooker, set to Low, and allow to cook 6 to 7 hours (for firm oats) or 8 hours (for softer texture).0 -
Made this last night.. OMG... a HIT!! I didn't add the sour cream (hubby hates it.. ) .. but didn't need it! It was amazing over rice! Next time I'm shredding the chicken to make burritos.... the kids LOVED it!!! 4 hours in the crock pot was the best time.. so it doesn't dry out the chicken!!!

if the calories are alright for this I am going to be your biggest fan. I me some butter chicken and in the crock pot??? OMGSlowcooker Kashmiri Butter Chicken.
Uses very little butter, has a rich sauce and low calorie. Very authentic! Could be cooked on stove also.
Serves 4: Calories per serving: 301
2 onions quartered
3 garlic cloves
4cmfresh root ginger peeled (I use about 3tsp minced ginger).
I large red chilli halved, seeds discarded (I leave this out because of kids).
8 boneless skinless chicken thighs. ( i use breast)
1 tbsp sunflower oil.
25g butter
1tsp cumin seeds crushed
1tsp fennel seeds crushed
4 green cardamom pods crushed
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp ground turmeric
¼ tsp ground cinnamon
300ml chicken stock
1tbsp light muscovado sugar
2 tbsp tomato puree
5 tbsp double cream (optional - I use 50% less fat cooking cream for cooking).
To garnish: 2tbsp chopped coriander (cilantro) leaves and flaked almonds (if desired).
Preheat slow cooker if your model requires it. Blend onions, garlic, ginger and chilli in a blender/processer (or chop v finely). Cut each chicken thigh into 4 pieces and brown using the oil. Remove to a plate. Melt butter in pan and add onion paste, cooking until it begins to colour. Stir in crushed seeds, crushed cardamom seeds and pods and ground spices. Cook for 1 minute, add stock, sugar, tomato puree, and salt. Bring to boil, stirring. Transfer chicken to slowcooker and pour sauce over. Cover and cook on LOW for 5-7hrs. Stir in cream if required before serving.
My kids love this too. The onion paste mix and spices could all be prepared the night before so just a quick fry and bring to the boil in the morning. I mix a larger quantity of the ground spices together and leave in a jar and then just add about a tbsp when making up the recipe.0 -

I make yogurt in mine:
heat milk to 115 degrees
plug in crock pot, add 1/2 cup of plain store-bought yogurt (think of yogurt as a science experiment, in which you are incubating and growing cultures, i.e. yogurt)
heat for 10 min before adding milk
unplug crock pot, add milk and cover with towel....leave set for 8 hours (do not touch or jiggle for 8 hours!!)
Done! And , no added sugar and little cost!
If you want more solid yogurt (like Greek yogurt), let the yogurt drain in a tea towel or yogurt bag, if you have one, for a while to desired consistency. If you drain all day, you end up with yogurt cheese...quite good.1
