YUMMY Crockpot Oatmeal


Based on my experiences with this recipe I found online

Ingredients

* 2 cups steel cut oats (not instant or rolled oats)
* 8 cups almond milk, or whatever liquid you like (water, cow's milk, soy milk, rice milk etc...)
* a couple spoons of coconut oil
* 1 TB. cinnamon
* 1/2 cup brown sugar
* 1 TB. vanilla
* 2 apples, peeled and diced (optional, I'm usually too lazy to peel and dice so I don't usually add it)
* 1 cup dried fruit (I prefer berries or raisins)
* your favorite toppings (banana slices, nuts, bacon etc...)

Directions

if you don't use the coconut oil spray the inside of your crockpot with Pam or some kind of oil spray or rub with your favorite oil...

Throw all the ingredients except for the toppings into your crockpot and cook on low for 3.5 - 4 hours. When done, mix it all up, scoop a bowl, top with your favorite toppings and eat. I store the leftovers in the fridge. Super easy and really yummy!

I've been interested in trying something like this...but only Luke and I would eat it. I live with an oatmeal snob! :-) Maybe when Aubrey grows up she'll join us and the 3 of us could handle it. Are the leftovers pretty good still?

I love the recipe. I will have to try it soon Heather. How is it for the carb conscious?
