Earth Friendly Goodies If it's Good for the Earth it's Good for Your Health 
If you are looking for a tasty treat on a chilly morning (or afternoons and evenings) perhaps a bowl of organic old fashioned slow cooker oatmeal would hit the spot. I was recently flipping through my “Fix-It and Forget-It Cookbook: Feasting with your Slow Cooker” and happened to see a recipe for making slow cooker oatmeal.
Well, my creative kitchen gremlin tapped me on the shoulder and said “hey buddy let’s experiment with some crock pot oatmeal for breakfast.”
So experiment we did.
Our Organic Old Fashioned Slow Cooker Oatmeal Recipe:
2 Cups dry Organic Old Fashioned Oats
2 Cups chopped apples (hand picked from a local orchard adds a little family fun)
3 Cups milk
3 Cups water
4 Tbsp. honey
4 Tbsp. brown sugar
2 Tbsp. butter
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 tsp. nutmeg
1/8 tsp cloves (or 5-6 crushed bulbs)
coconut oil
Rub the inside of your crock pot with some coconut oil. Mix all the ingredients in your slow cooker set the timer on Low for 3 hours and wait patiently until you have one fine batch of spiced apple slow cooker oatmeal. mm-mmm good!
Note: to take advantage of the full nutrient power of the oats soak them overnight in yogurt or buttermilk. Sound strange? You bet, but whole grains like oats have phytic acid which binds with the vitamins and minerals in our bodies and prevents them from being absorbed. Soaking them in an acidic medium like buttermilk, whey, yogurt, lemon juice, or vinegar overnight neutralizes the phytic acid and makes them easier to digest.
Hey if you really dug this slow cooker oatmeal recipe I sure would love a comment, and a share and a Like and a pat on the back and a batch of warm chocolate cookies…
Warm crock pot oatmeal is best when shared… Pin this image
Hi you could,also use this recipe in our new thermal cooker I would of thought. It is like a slow cooker but you just heat your food put it in the pot. Which is like a big flask and it cooks itself with no power. We love it.
Thanks lee
I bet you could Lee, that sounds like a fun way to make oatmeal, but one drawback is that you’d have to make it during the day when the sun is out.
