overnight crock pot oatmeal

So I found this recipe online and thought me and the kids would try it out... here are the directions: 

Overnight Crockpot Oatmeal

1 cup steel cut or regular oats (NOT Quick Oats!)
4 cups water
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup brown sugar
1  TBS butter
1/2  tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp cinnamon

Combine all in crockpot and cook on low for 8hrs.  Serve with milk & cinnamon sugar.

Variations:

Add up to 1 C raisins/dried fruit before cooking.
Add 1 chopped fresh apple before cooking.
Top with fresh fruit (in season) or canned fruit (drained).
Add a pat of butter or a dollop of jam/preserves.
Drizzle with honey.

I took pictures of what it looked like before I turned it on and I'll take some pictures in the morning after it's done and give you a review from my 3 taste testers.

Re: overnight crock pot oatmeal

  • I have never heard of crockpot oatmeal!!  I can't wait to hear how it as and see the pictures!
  • It was an epic fail... It looked and smelled really good but didn't taste good :( My youngest actually started crying b/c he thought it tasted sooo bad. We ended up going to Tim Horton's and getting donuts for breakfast...
