I just discovered that you can make it in a slow cooker!
I am going to set it up before going to sleep and have some ready and hot for me and DH tomorrow.
(this is not my picture - not yet)
It is not really to save money - I usually just get a 75c pumpernickel buttered bagel for breakfast with gourmet coffee I make at the office.
That kind of oatmeal is actually more expensive. But it is much healthier.
I wanted to have this for breakfast for a while, but there is no way I can make time to actually cook it (and I do not like instant one) But if I wake up and it is ready to serve - that changes the equation.
I will also add some pecans and maybe a touch maple syrup we bought in vermont.
Or, I wonder if I could put dried cherries into it instead (to cook with oatmeal for 8hrs?) If anyone knows, please post. I use dried cherries in jeweled rice but that is only cooked for 20 minutes. I wonder what will happen to them after 6-8hrs?
I bought the slow cooker few month ago and cooked barley soup with it once. Until now I did not know what else to do with it. Now, if this works, I'll use it few times a week!
Steel cut oatmeal for breakfast!
