Ever find yourself short on time in the morning for a good breakfast? Then you need a crock pot & you can make yourself oatmeal!! I've made this twice so far. The first time hubby complained that he doesn't like salt in his oats & the second time hubby had the idea of throwing a cinammon stick in there as well. Oatmeal is one of those things that everyone likes to finish off in a different way. I like mine with a little salt, butter, & maple syrup. So I wasn't sure I was gonna like the cinammon flavor with that, but I have to say it was REALLY good. I will definitely add the cinammon stick again the next time we make it. (I buy the large ones at the Mexican grocery store--or in TJ--& I used about half of one of those) I read that you can add cut up apples also. But I read that raisins don't do well with the long cooking time. I am sad that my little toddler cannot partake of this with us, since he's allergic to oats. Therefore, I plan to try this method with other hot cereals in the future--millet, cream of wheat, creamy rice, etc. If they turn out well I will post those recipes as well.
