Slow Cooker Oat Groats Groatmeal Recipe 275

Steps:

• In a 1-1/2-qt. slow cooker coated with cooking spray, combine all ingredients. Cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours or until liquid is absorbed and oatmeal is tender. If desired, serve with additional milk, walnuts and cinnamon.

Steps:

• Place the steel cut oats, water, apple, raisins, butter, cinnamon, brown sugar, and vanilla extract into a slow cooker, and stir to combine and dissolve the sugar. Cover the cooker, set to Low, and allow to cook 6 to 7 hours (for firm oats) or 8 hours (for softer texture).

Steps:

• Coat the inside of a 4-quart (or larger) slow cooker with cooking spray or oil. Add the groats, chia or flaxseed, cinnamon, and salt and give them a stir. (If you don't stir them and distribute the ingredients, the chia/flaxseed and cinnamon tend to clump together as they cook.) Add the applesauce or shredded apples, milk, water and optional sweetener. Stir to combine, cover, and cook on low for approximately 7 hours. (NOTE: slow cooker times and temperatures vary, so you may need to adjust the cooking time.) *For a creamier, softer texture, add 1 (or more) additional cup(s) of milk to the cooking ingredients and extend the cooking time by 30-60 minutes. Stir cooked groatmeal before spooning into serving bowls. May be topped with additional milk, syrup, brown sugar, cinnamon, dried or fresh fruit, or nuts. Freezes well. Recipe may be halved or doubled. To reheat single 3/4 cup servings: Put cooked groatmeal in microwave proof bowl. Add 1/3 cup milk. Microwave on high for 1 minute; stir. Continue cooking for another minute, or until hot.

Steps:

• In a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker, combine the oats, salt and 4 cups water. Cover and set the cook time to 2 hours on low, at which point the slow cooker will automatically switch to warm. Cook on warm until the oatmeal is creamy and tender, about 6 more hours. (The 6 hours on warm is not optional; the oats will not be done after 2 hours on low. If you wish to cook them more quickly, you can cook for 4 to 5 hours total on low.) Ladle into bowls and serve with the toppings of your choice.
