this is from the food blog http://www.theyummylife.com/blog/2011/03/159/Overnight,+Slow+Cooker,+Apple+Cinnamon+Steel-Cut+Oatmeal this works well but for some reason my crockpots scortch but i think its because this may need a stir after a couple hours or i let it cook too long. great with a ripe banana for a little extra sweatness. also 2% add's a lot more richness.
