Slow-cooker Oatmeal Recipe Needed About This Page:

[LisaJ]

I have heard that you can cook oatmeal in a slow-cooker (crock pot) overnight and wake up to the good stuff.

I have some real Scottish oats (Bob's Red Mill Organic Scottish Oats, or porridge) in the refrigerator that I would like to try out with this method, but I'm not sure how to do it. The original recipe (stove top method) calls for a 3:1 ratio of water to oats. No problem. But would I use that same ratio in a crock pot? I plan on setting the control to "low".

If anyone has done this before, please enlighten me. I haven't a clue.

I've never done this, but I found this recipe on Food Network : Cooking, Recipe Collections, Party Ideas, Quick & Easy Recipes, Cooking Videos. This is Alton Brown's recipe. He prepared it on one of his shows. Good luck.

Overnight Oatmeal

1 cup steel cut oats
1 cup dried cranberries
1 cup dried figs
4 cups water
1/2 cup half-and-half

In a slow cooker, combine all ingredients and set to low heat. Cover and let cook for 8 to 9 hours.
Stir and remove to serving bowls. This method works best if started before you go to bed. This way your oatmeal will be finished by morning.
