Here’s an easy overnight recipe for delicious oatmeal. Yummy and filling on a cold morning. I make this and the rice on the weekends during the Fall/Winter/Spring.
Ingredients:
2/3 cup Steel cut oats
2/3 cup of any or all: whole grain wheat, millet, barley, flaxseed, etc.
1/3 cup Raisins, cranberries, blueberries
1/3 cup Walnuts (optional)
2-3 tbsp Sugar/Brown sugar/honey
1-2 tbsp Butter
1 tsp Cinnamon
1 tsp Pumpkin pie spice
1/4 tsp Salt
1/8 tsp Vanilla
2/3 cup Milk
4 cups Water
Preparation:
Mix all the dry ingredients in crockpot. Add butter, vanilla, milk and water. Stir.
Cook on low for 6-8 hours, or high 2-4 hours.
Depending on the crockpot, it may stick to the sides-I tend to scrape it off periodically after 4 hours or so and mix in.
Serves 4-6.
Note: if you use whole grain wheat, it may need to be pre-cooked: simmer for about 45 minutes or microwave for about 25 or until the grains are plump and soft.
