"The smell you'll wake up to in the morning from this crockpot oatmeal is the best ever! I know you can cook delicious oatmeal in a pot in the morning, but you miss out on the glorious smell! Plus, having one less thing to do in the morning is always a good thing :)"

Recipe for 12 filled a large crockpot. 10 hours is too long. I cooked it for 8 hours, but will probably turn it off around 7 hours next time. . Added milk and kept on warm all morning. It was very good.

I used regular oats (not quick cooking) and this turned out extremely soupy and gross. Oats were burned/caked around the edges of the pot. Completely inedible. Steel cut oats may work better.
