Favorite Crockpot Oatmeal

Bob's makes a gluten free oat if you need this.

This is my favorite oatmeal recipe. It cooks at night while you sleep. It is very creamy and like a bread pudding in consistency---you wake up with this wonderful smell wafting throughout the house.

(3-4 servings)

1 cup oats (the old fashioned ones)

2 and1/2 cups of milk (This works with water as well--only use less water--more like 2 )

1/4 cup brown sugar

1 Tab. of butter

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1 finely chopped apple (without skin and core)

1/2 cup raisins (I use one of the little boxes--it might be more like 1/4 cup

Grease the inside of Crock pot (I use the small crock--about 2 or 2 and1/2 quart size. Throw all ingredients inside Crock and mix well . Cover and cook on low for 8 or 9 hours. Stir before serving. Add a little cold milk when serving. You can use water in the recipe instead of milk--the consistancy will be a bit different, but equally good)

Note: all kinds of variations are possible--I love it plain made with water and maple syrup toooooooo!

To clean the pot afterwards just fill with hot water and set on high for 20 or 30 minutes--cleans up in a flash.
