Creamy CrockPot Apple Oatmeal

Day 38.

I'm participating in Slow Cooker Thursday today. Make sure you check out the recipes submitted by the other crockpot crazies--and if you have a recipe you'd like to share, add it to the list!

Sandra has a theme for this week--breakfast. I was a bit over-zealous the last time I tried to make a crockpot breakfast, so I stuck to easy, simple and healthy with this recipe.

This doesn't taste like dirt. I promise.

The Ingredients:

--1 cup of oats

--2 cups of milk

--2 tablespoons of brown sugar

--1 tablespoon of vanilla (I have no idea where my vanilla went in that picture)

--pinch of salt

--1 chopped apple (there are 2 pictured, but after chopping up the green one I thought it was plenty of apple. I was right.)

The Directions:

--add oats, chopped apple and milk to stoneware

--put in brown sugar, vanilla and pinch of salt

--mix with finger. or a spoon. whatever.

--cover and cook on high for 1-2 hours or low for 2-3.

--check consistency of oats--some people like to chew, some people don't.

--garnish with some cinnamon

I cooked this batch on high for 1:15 hrs. It was creamy and milky; the kids and I really enjoyed it and ate it all up ourselves. I would probably double or at least increase the ingredients by 50% next time--especially if Adam was home.
