Warning: This is a HEALTHY way to easily cook oats. Meaning, there is no sugar in this at all. I am sure there can be great sugary variations but for those of you who are looking for a tasty way to eat oats and have it be “clean”, this is my favorite so far.
1 cup of steel cut oats
1 cup of milk
4 cups of water
1 TBSP of cinnamon
pinch of salt
1 tsp of vanilla
cook on low in a slow cooker for about 3.5 to 4 hours or until creamy.
You COULD, for taste and variation put in dried cranberries, or fig or another great fruit. Be careful though, because fruit means fructose and that does mean sugar.
This amount can last one person one meal a day for well over a week! One of the best “pre-made” breakfast ideas yet! Especially if you are like me and have notimewhatsoever in the mornings and can definitely use the extra fiber.
I am so grateful for:
1. my iPhone and ease of work from it.
2. stickie mustaches that my kids like to wear – they crack me up.
3. remote control app on my phone that lets me mess with my husband. haha
4. my sweet son’s cute little smile.
5. nail files.
