Steel Cut Oatmeal for the Crockpot Recipe
3-4 servings
6¼ hours 5 min prep
1 cup steel cut oats (DO NOT substitute old-fashioned or quick-cooking oats)
4 1/2 cups water
1/2 teaspoon salt
2-3 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup dried fruit (raisins, prunes, apricots, dates) (optional)
Serve with
milk, to taste
sugar, to taste
cinnamon, to taste
maple syrup, to taste

Place all ingredients in a 2 quart slow cooker.
Cover and cook on LOW 6-8 hours.
It might form a "crust" around the outside. Just scrape it down with a spoon and stir it in.

That is a great idea for the crockpot. I never thought to make oatmeal in the crockpot.
