I followed this recipe exactly as is except for the cooking time (and I did not add an extra cup of water, as many suggested). I know that my Crock runs high and that most things cook in 3-3-1/2 hours on low to cook, so I put the oatmeal for 3 hours. It is fabulous! It really is creamy and it came out just how I like it. I love ooey, gooey, sticky yum yum yum!!! This texture is, of course, not for everyone, but I love fining gooey nuggets in my oatmeal/porridge s.

I enjoyed the fact that this took almost no time at night and was ready for me in the morning since it was so cold today! That said, I found it a tad bit "slimy". Different from the regular texture of the oatmeal I cook on top of the stove. I topped it with my current favorites, chopped up candied ginger, some brown sugar, and a tablespoon of fat free half and half. I may use the rest to make cooked oatmeal scones.

Thank you Pamela, this was soooo good and creamy. I did add another cup of water just before I turned the crock-pot off this morning - I will add the extra water at the beginning of cooking next time. I also added a heap of sultanas at the end of cooking time and stirred them into the cooked porridge. As we slept in a little longer this morning the porridge cooked for the full 8 hours and I will most likely cook for 8 next time. I sometimes (when I remembered) soaked the rolled oats in cold water overnight before cooking it on the stove and I found the texture and creaminess to be pretty much the same cooked in the crock-pot. I won’t bother making porridge on the cook top any more this was just so much easier.
