[Cheesy FL-Vol]

This recipe was obtained from a local grocer's market magazine, and the article I got the recipe from includes other crockpot breakfast recipes.

Cranberry-Maple Oatmeal
PREP: 15 MINUTES COOK: 6 to 7 HOURS (LOW)

Steel-cut oats are whole oat grains that have been chopped into smaller pieces. They take longer to cook than rolled oats, which have been steamed and flattened.

Nonstick cooking spray*
4¾ cups water
1½ cups steel-cut oats
¾ cup pure maple syrup*
½ cup golden raisins
½ cup dried cranberries
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon*
1 teaspoon vanilla*
½ teaspoon salt
Publix GreenWise Market Plain Soymilk (optional)

ONE Lightly coat the inside of a 3½- or 4-quart slow cooker with cooking spray.

TWO In the prepared slow cooker combine water, oats, syrup, raisins, cranberries, cinnamon, vanilla and salt. Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 6 to 7 hours. Serve with soymilk, if desired. Makes eight ¾-cup servings.

Note: I do not use cooking spray. It does not cross my threshold. I just rub a small amount of butter on the inside of the crock.

Nothing like a hot breakfast ready and waiting on a cold morning!

I think that you left out the trick. Whether you use a slow cooker or a stove, you save the leftover cooked steel cut oatmeal in serving sizes and nuke it for the rest of the week.

Another tip? I use slow cooker liners. Saves on cleaning heavy crock. Not sure about something as thick as oatmeal though. But I use them for everything else.
