Oatmeal in the Crockpot Recipe

Using a crockpot to cook oatmeal is absolutely genius! Before bed, you can put the steel cut oats on to cook and wake up to the heavenly smell of cinnamon and oats — all ready to scoop into bowls and add toppings. This is especially good on a cold morning, but a great breakfast option any morning.

Preparation

1. Place the ingredients in a crockpot and stir to combine.

* I like to let the kids squeeze in their own honey to get them involved and swirl in a bit of extra milk to cool it down for them.

Honey, maple syrup, walnuts and or raisins.
