When I crawled out of bed this morning and wandered downstairs for a cup of coffee I realized I forgot that I had put breakfast on before I went to bed. Instant smile on my face. I love easy breakfasts. Plus you get the bonus of waking up to a house filled with the scent of warm cinnamon!
See that shiny thing in the background? It does all the work for you.
1 cup steel cut oats {we buy ours in bulk at Costco}
2 cups water
2 1/2 cups milk {I use whole milk…guilty pleasure}
1 tsp cinnamon
Dump everything into your crockpot, give it a stir and set it to “low” for 6-9 hours. Mine comes out perfectly at about 6-7 hours {stays on warm for the rest of the night/morning}.
Serve topped with anything you like! We love chopped apples, a handful of walnuts, brown sugar and a little bit of milk :) If you like raisins in your oatmeal, add them in the crockpot so they’re juicy and plumped up by the morning! Serves 4-6 but we get about 8 servings since I have tiny ones in the house.
ENJOY!
I found this recipe a while back via Weelicious.

ps…love the website’s new look!
You’re welcome! No excuses when it’s that easy, right?
I’ve done this before, but it didn’t turn out well ( I can’t remember why). Thanks for inspiring me to try it again. I have steel cut oats sitting in the pantry waiting for me :)

Boo! But yes, try this recipe…works everytime for me. Although the first time I made it half of it was stuck to the bottom of the crockpot…I think I had it on high for 8 hours. Whoops! Low for 6-8 works best :)
Thanks so much! Wiith school approaching, i can’t think of a better thing to make!
Ohhh yum! I will have to try this!
Omg this recipe is sure to be a hit at our house! Thank you for this, what a timesaver this is going to be!!
