Ingredients:
1 cup steel cut oats3 cups water
1 cup almond milk (preferably)
Small crockpot
Options:
1 sliced banana
1 cup of walnuts (or your favorite nuts!)
6 sliced strawberries
Blueberries
1/4 cup of raisins
cinnamon
honey
...the possibilities are endless!
Directions:
I combined all ingredients in a small crock pot and cooked on low heat for 3 hours. (I cooked this when I got home, while doing my evening chores, before I went to bed.) During the last hour of cooking I sliced up one large banana and added it, along with 1 cup of walnuts. I didn't stir it all up until the 3 hours was up. This is a great "base" recipe. You can make the steel cut oatmeal and add different toppings every day. When I reheated the oatmeal later, I added about 2 tablespoons of almond milk. I sweetened it with 2 tablespoons of honey...THAT'S IT!!! I wouldn't suggest cooking the oatmeal with the strawberries, and if you choose apples, make sure you peel them first. Otherwise, the oatmeal will be real bitter. Hope you enjoy!
