Slow Cooker Oats

I tried it but since it only takes 6 hours, I was exhausted putting it together, going to bed for a short time and then ate what didn’t taste good. I’ll try something something else.

Slow cooker oats are always a great way to wake up! This recipe is quite nice and very easy to put together. I used almond milk instead of water and made everything else as written. Nice mellow flavor, very warming.

Great recipe! It is easy to make. I added creamed honey with cinnamon ad I served it.

Perfect breakfast, especially in the winter I add nuts, and raisins, use skim milk instead of water, and add extra. This makes breakfast for a whole week for me. Sometimes I add wheat germ or bran. And extra apples, always extra apples. Yogurt and berries on top make it festive.

Really flavorful. A new fav I will be adding to my rotation. Next time I will either cut down the time in the slow cooker a bit or use a slow cooker bag as the sides and bottom burnt a bit.

I have made a very similar recipe many times. This recipe is very flexible. Use apple juice in place for all or part of the water. Always use unpeeled fruit. I add 3 or 4 apples or pears. Use a heaping tablespoon of cinnamon. Tastes great with lots of fresh berries added while the oatmeal is hot. I make a whole batch of this oatmeal and then refrigerate it. Every morning I take out a bowlful, microwave to heat it up and then top it with plain Greek yogurt and pecans. Delicious.

Followed the recipe (used milk) and my family did not like it. I tried to eat it so it wouldn’t go to waste but I didn’t really enjoy it.

I doubled it, with one cup less water, and cooked it over 4 hours to make it a better texture with the oats I used.

Made this several times already with several variations. Such as: water only, or half milk/half water, all milk… added nuts, sometimes no raisins, sometimes on low and others on the warm setting. I’d say my fave is half/half milk/water, no raisins or nuts, and low setting. The nuts and raisins get too mushy, would rather add at the end. The butter is a MUST in my opinion, makes it super creamy! I love adding a little heavy cream to my personal bowl when serving—yum!

Too much water, too few oats. bitter, tasted horrible, too thick to drink, too thin to plow. Raisins were puffy, apples mushy.

I used this every fall for several years. Here’s some tips. Best thing I discovered was just using a cheese grader and grading the Apple or two into to pot with the skins. Also if you don’t want to use butter I use 2 cups regular coconut milk (more watery type) and 1-1/2 cups water gonna try just 1 cup coconut milk next time but the 2 is really good. I normally cook it for 6 hours with timer over night and get minimal side wall stick. I do 2 apples Fungi (sweetest) and skip the raisins grade apples first before adding anything.

I love how it tasted but it took quite a while to cook

I didn’t have steel cut oats and I was worried that it would be too mushy. I also wanted to turn it on a before bed and wake up to oats that weren’t overcooked. So I used rolled oats, but only set the crock pot on ‘Keep Warm.’ It was very good the next morning. Not too mushy and not sticking or overcooked.

Absolutely horrible! A whole tablespoon of Cinnamon is way too much. All we could taste was this overpowering solid cinnamon.

My fiancee’s parents have made overnight oats in their slow cooker and they were really good, so I found this as a way to try to recreate it. Mine came out great, except it did burn on the bottom/edges. *However* I did notice that there is a note to try it on the warm setting. I’m making it again and will try that, I’m sure it’ll work great! I also think I will try increasing the water to 4 cups. I used dates, walnuts and apples in this – dates are amazing in this recipe!

I made a double batch and followed the recipe. Best oatmeal I’ve ever had. My wife licked the spoon, and we are sharing half with two toddler grandchildren.

Love this recipe. Oats are nice and tender and the apple with the raisins is so yummy. Sometimes I also add blueberries or bananas and walnuts. This recipe does me for 6 or 7 mornings. By far my favourite way to cook steel cut oats.

Very good. Next time I will decrease the salt, but that was the only change I will make.

Followed the directions as they are and I have to agree that it’s quite bland and disappointing. I was super excited to wake up to something really yummy and it just wasn’t there for us. I can see it as being a good base recipe to tweak.

This is great. What iI did was put it in a smaller oven safe dish in the crock pot and then there was no clean up and already in a container.

Very good
