crock pot oatmeal

we aren't big oatmeal people but have been trying hard to get miles to eat it...i found this great recipe for overnight crock pot oatmeal and it ended up pretty good! the best part was waking up to a hot breakfast!! miles wasn't too crazy about it but i loved it..i'm hoping the more i make it the better he will like it..hopefully.... he's just not a mushy food kind of guy...even  when he was a wee babe he never really liked baby food it had to have some texture for him to really enjoy it....what a strange little one i have...anyway now that its warm i don't know how appealing a bowl of hot oatmeal is but save this recipe for a rainy day or fall time...hope you enjoy!

You will need: 1 cup steel cut oats (not quick oats!)
                       4 cups water
                       1/2 cup milk
                       1/4 cup brown sugar
                        1 TBSP butter
                       1/2 tsp vanilla extract (i actually ran out of vanilla so i added 1 TBSP maple syrup)
                       1 tsp cinnamon

                                                               steel cut oats

                                                                    brown sugar COMBINE EVERYTHING IN CROCK POT

oatmeal isn't the best food to photograph so i didn't take too many pics...it looked gross but i swear it was yummy!

                                                    cook on low for 8 hours

serve with milk and butter...and any other topping you like...we added a bit more cinnamon and raisins...but add whatever you like on yours...hope you give this one a try!
