Steel Cut Oats

[BigAsh]

no matter what goes in mine I give it a quick spray of PAM....cleans up in a snap!...

Here's oatmeal in crock....

2 cups steel cut oats (not instant or rolled oats)
6-8 cups water, depending on how long the oatmeal will cook (can sub some lowfat milk in for some water)
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
2 apples, peeled and diced
1 cup raisins
1 cup sliced bananas
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Spray crockpot with nonstick cooking spray. If you're planning to cook the oatmeal 8 hours or longer, use 8 cups of water. If you want to cook it less than 8 hours, use 6 cups of water. Put first seven ingredients (through raisins) in slow cooker and cook on low. Just before serving, Stir in bananas and walnuts. Sprinkle with additional brown sugar if desired.

You can break these down into 8 individual servings and freeze. Take a serving out the night before and heat in microwave in the morning.
