Slow Cooker No-Peel Steel Cut Oats and a Tornado...Fun Times at the Homestead

8/4/2012

 
Seriously.
Really.
No lie.
This is where I should be right now.

Picture
At a candlelight port tasting at a bed and breakfast in Hermann, Mo...
our favorite place in the Midwest!

But instead I am here.

On my couch.


With my doggie.

Picture







And a laptop.



And a beverage.

Cuz a tornado or straight line winds came through two hours into our little weekend getaway.

But we gotaway right back to the property :)
and started cleaning up with help from some wonderful neighbors and friends.

So that's why I'm doing up a post here instead of eating chocolate and sipping port, BUT I've been wanting to share this recipe so that's good!!!! Yum!!!

Slow Cooker No-Peel Apples and Steel-Cut Oats...it's the easiest thing ever to make in the universe for a make-ahead, healthy breakfast. It takes like 10 minutes max to put together.
And that includes five minutes of trying to locate and pull out the slow cooker.

By the way, the photos are blurry in the right hand corner because I dropped my camera INTO the oatmeal and didn't clean the lens off good enough. Yeah. Genius is what I am.

Picture

This healthy, tasty breakfast dish plates up nice, the texture is like a dense bread pudding,

and the taste is nice and warming no matter the temps that day.




This recipe is from one of my favorite food websites www.reluctantentertainer.com.

Spray, spray spray away!!

Add the milk and water into the apples....

And this is what it looks like all together.

  Now put on the lid and go to bed.

Seven hours later, lift the lid off and believe it or not,

Take a scoop out....

This smells so delicious in the crock pot...

look how dense all this liquid got overnight with the oats!

I was taking this close-up crock pot picture when I accidentally dropped my camera into the oatmeal.
Crap!




Picture


Anyway, top with walnuts and dig in!

The apples,  vanilla and brown sugar give this dish depth and flavor.

It's fantastic with a glass of milk or hot steaming cup of coffee.

And so easy to make too!
