I knew yesterday was going to be a rush and hurry morning, so I experimented with slow-cooker oatmeal for breakfast.
The night before, I found several recipes on the web for it and decided to try it out with ingredients I had on hand. The recipes all called for steel cut oats, but I didn't have any. They all said not to use quick oats. That's all I had!
Oops.
So, I twisted things a bit and did a combo of quinoa and oats, dried cranberries, coconut, flax seeds, a can of sweetened condensed milk, instead of milk and sugar, and water and spices.
I agree that you should use steel cut oats, because my end product was a mess. It was so tasty, but I didn't care for the texture. I have no pics of it, but I plan to revisit this recipe again.
My kids ate it all. They scarfed it up so fast I did not have time to snap pics. The smell taunted them, and as soon as I had bowls on the counter ready to scoop, they snatched them up!
Definitely worth doing again! Overnight oatmeal recipe.
