Crock Pot Fruited Oatmeal

Michelle S.'s Note:

My husband loves this! I use ground nuts as he doesn't always like nuts in things and I can be sneaky that way. I think peaches would be wonderful substituted for the apples.

I made this for my husband who gets up at 3:30 every morning for work, so I figured this was a quick and easy breakfast for him. He said it was good, but I didn't try it because it looked unappealing. I have a big oval crockpot and I think that this small recipe was too shallow in my big pot and it might have dried out quite a bit. but none the less, he liked it.

I really enjoyed this, but it was just a little too rich for me. I love the idea of making this in the crockpot and having it ready in the morning. Next time, I will cook it in water and add the brown sugar when done. I loved the apple and raisins and next time will add nuts too! Thanks!!!

for a better texture, try steel cut oats, instead of rolled oats or quick oats. use a 3:1 liquid to oats ratio and put them with fruit & nuts in your crock pot on low for 8 hrs (right before you to go bed)
