CROCK POT OATMEAL WITH DRIED FRUIT



Crock Pot Oatmeal With Dried Fruit image

Steel cut oats and your favourite dried fruits make for a delicious breakfast that's ready and waiting for you when you roll into the kitchen for breakfast. There's absolutely no need to add any sugar to the oatmeal, as the sugars in the fruit take care of that for you. Use any combination of fruit you have on hand; I've used apples, prunes, dates, apricots, cranberries, raisins, cranberries, strawberries, and pineapple and all are great but my favourites are apple/raisin, and dates all by themselves. From the manual that came with a Cuisinart slow cooker.

Tips:

  • Use old-fashioned oats: They have a heartier texture than quick-cooking or instant oats, and they will hold their shape better in the slow cooker.
  • Soak the oats overnight: This will help them cook more evenly and reduce the cooking time.
  • Use a slow cooker with a removable crock: This will make it easier to clean up.
  • Don't overfill the slow cooker: The oats should be no more than two-thirds full.
  • Stir the oats occasionally: This will help prevent them from sticking to the bottom of the slow cooker.
  • Add fruit, nuts, and spices to taste: This will help create a delicious and nutritious breakfast.
