Im a Good Mommy Steel Cut Oatmeal

1. 1

   Start making this the night before you want to eat it.

2. 2

   First, find a heat-safe bowl that will fit in your crock pot when the lid is on.

3. 3

   I use an oval corningware casserole dish that fits just right in my big oval-shaped crock pot.

4. 4

   Make sure the dish will comfortably hold all four cups of liquid.

5. 5

   Once youve found the bowl, put it in the crock pot and add the steel cut oats, 2 cups of water and 2 cups of milk.

6. 6

   Then, add additional water to the crock pot (NOT THE BOWL) until it comes about halfway up the side of the bowl with the oats in it (a pitcher is helpful here).

7. 7

   Basically, youre making a water bath so the oats will cook but not burn on the bottom or sides of the bowl.

8. 8

   Now, turn your crock pot on low, go to bed and when you wake up in the morning, breakfast is done and you have fulfilled your maternal duty to feed your children something for breakfast besides Nacho Cheese Doritos.

9. 9

   Add brown sugar, honey, cinnamon, berries, bananas, etc.

10. 10

    The possibilities are endless.
