Yummy and Super Easy Crock Pot Oatmeal
By: Mirj
Aug 26, 2002
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).
SERVES 4
Ingredients
- 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)
Directions
1
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!2
I scoop it out of the crock pot and eat it with maple syrup, or blueberry syrup, or pourable fruit, and soy milk--yum!3
To reheat leftovers, I usually add a little water, and stir it a couple of times while microwaving until it's hot.4
You can add other flavorings as you like, such as dried fruits, other sweet spices, diced apples, etc.5
I usually put raisins on after it's cooked because I like them chewy.6
I've been meaning to try dried cranberries.

I used steel cut oats and used one cup oats to 4 cups of water. I have a small slow cooker and maybe its too hot but if I leave it on overnight even on low it is overcooked. So I put it on high for a couple of hours before I go to bed, then unplug it in the morning it is perfectly cooked and I just plug it in again to heat it up. I put some frozen peaches as well as cinnamon in it and that was delicious.

AWESOME OATMEAL! I used steel cut oats and cooked it for about 5 hours on low. It came out perfect! It won't be runny or too thin when done if you use steel cut oats (with oatmeal on the cereal aisle) The steel cut oats stand up nicely with 2 cups oats and 6 cups water. Thanks so much for a warm, easy to make treat. This will go into my permanent file!

Last winter, I made oatmeal in the crockpot just about every week. I like to substitute apple juice for the water and I sometimes add dried cranberries as well as the cinnamon. Delicious! Even my daughter (now 23 mos) loves this nice hot (and healthy!) breakfast.

Nice to wake up and switch on the coffee pot and have nice hot oatmeal already ready to eat. This recipe is great. It is easy to prepare, inexpensive, and healthy. I like my oatmeal with rasins or sometimes I will slice a bananna, add some chopped walnuts, and brown sugar. The dried cranberries, I will be trying next time. I have heard of people making bread pudding with leftover oatmeal too.
