Slow-Cooked Fruited Oatmeal with Nuts
The beauty of this breakfast is that you can set the slow cooker overnight and, with nothing more than a ladle, spoons and bowls, feed a crowd in
the morning. —Trisha Kruse, Eagle, Idaho

Great! Super Quick recipe! <a href="https://www.neptarecipes.com/2020/07/oat-meal-low-calorie-breakfast-breakfast.html">OatMeal</a>
Cooked 4 hours on low (my slow cooker has a timer) -which was plenty- and stirred in the morning. Good and easy. My boys especially loved it, so I will make this for them regularly (and have it myself sometimes).
Okay. I have made this three times now. The third time was the charm. This does not take 6-8 hours to cook-only about four. If you overcook it, it does stick and burn to the sides of the crock-pot terribly, and the apples do dissolve.So what I did was put it on before I went to bed, then in the middle of the night when I woke up (pregnant right now...) I stirred the oatmeal and turned it to warm. in the morning, it was perfect retaining all the yummy flavors. My family loved it.

The oatmeal burned to the sides of the slow cooker. The apples dissolved away. This was a disappointing disgusting mess to clean up.
Despite all the ingredients there wasn't a ton of flavor. It definitely needed the nuts, additional cranberries and some brown sugar when serving. It was easy and smelled great, but I'm not sure I'd make it again.
