The delicious aroma that came up from the crockpot in the morning gave me very high hopes. Unfortunately even though it smelled absolutely wonderful, it didn't taste as well. I didn't have any problems with it being burnt or soupy or dry. We just didn't like it- I think it might of been the texture. And the fact that we are too used the instant kind.

I'm not sure what I did wrong but I followed other suggestions and used a 3:1 oats:water ratio and it was just stuck on the sides of the crock pot and the center was soupy. When I try next time I'll try a different type of oats and try a 2:1 ratio. Hopefully better luck next time.

This is exactly the type of recipe I've been searching for to get my kids off the packaged oatmeal and eating the "real" stuff - they woke up to such a sweet smell, and immediatly wanted to eat!! My kids actually ate something healthy and I didn't have to fight them!! I used a cinnamon spice mix of cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and it really upped the "yum" factor. And as a bonus, my DH ate it, too! I'll experiment with the different fruits as I expect this to be the preferred breakfast through the upcoming fall and winter seasons!! Great recipe!!

The best oatmeal in the world. Now DH and I hesitate when thinking of having our oatmeal any other way. I substituted brown sugar with Splenda, and of the various apples I've tried (yes, we've been having this several days in a row now!)tart ones like Granny Smith are the best, and cut into biggish chunks. What we don't eat at one breakfast I reheat the next day without any loss of quality. I have also added raisins to this, jumbo Thompson's are my favourite. I don't find this complete without some milk (rice, soy, canned,or regular)when serving it out. This method of preparation raises oatmeal to a whole new level. What a find!
