Steel Cut Oatmeal in your Crockpot~

Crockpot Oatmeal Recipe

2 cups steel cut oats (not instant or rolled oats)
6-8 cups water, depending on how long the oatmeal will cook
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
2 apples, peeled and diced
1 cup raisins
1 cup sliced bananas
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Spray crockpot with nonstick cooking spray. If you’re planning to cook the oatmeal 8 hours or longer, use 8 cups of water. If you want to cook it less than 8 hours, use 6 cups of water. Put first seven ingredients (through raisins) in slow cooker and cook on low. Just before serving, Stir in bananas and walnuts. Sprinkle with additional brown sugar if desired.
Serves 8.

I also like to make it with Dried Apricots and Dried Cranberries. After it’s done in the morning, I’ll put chopped Walnuts on it and a little honey instead of the brown sugar~

Dee,
Steel oats are wonderful! We have been eating them for quite a while. I don’t spray my crockpot. I just put in 6 cups water and 1 1/2 cups oats and go to bed. I don’t add the fruit or toppings until morning. I have cooked it 7 to 9 hours. It is ready when we are ready to eat. I have even left it 11 hours without a problem. Don’t forget to set the crockpot on low. There is always some left over for the next morning. Just add a bit of water and warm it up. Can use a bit of milk if you like instead of water. I always put 4 cups of water to each cup of oats that way it is never too thick. Thanks for adding it to your blog. I am sure there are others who have not tried it before and will really enjoy the change from the usual quick oats.
