However, I use almond butter instead and I don't add in the brown sugar, since DH is dieting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-make-oatmeal-overnight-in-the-crock-pot#post-1467415 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 16:53:34 +0000 Freckles 1467415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I prefer the bring it to a boil in a pot and leave it overnight in the fridge method. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-make-oatmeal-overnight-in-the-crock-pot#post-1467412 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 16:51:16 +0000 coopsmama 1467412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaryM: I don't like instant oatmeal so I would definitely like this then. DH is the harder one around these parts. ;)</p> <p>@autumnlove: Oh that could work just great for our purposes, too! I think I'll play around and see what works best! </p> <p>@junebugmama: I might try a cinnamon apple one, as well. I normally make a soaked, baked apple cinnamon oatmeal for breakfasts for us on Wed/Thurs but am getting tired of the baked texture. I like the consistency of regular oatmeal better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-make-oatmeal-overnight-in-the-crock-pot#post-1467400 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 16:44:00 +0000 junebugmama 1467400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, I make it once per week for DH and enough to cover him for 3 breakfasts. I do make a cinnamon apple one though, so it probably helps to keep it wet. I cook it on low for 8 hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-make-oatmeal-overnight-in-the-crock-pot#post-1467390 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 16:39:04 +0000 autumnlove 1467390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not crockpot but I boil water, add steel cut oats and turn it off and it is perfect the next day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-make-oatmeal-overnight-in-the-crock-pot#post-1467376 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 16:35:03 +0000 MaryM 1467376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's thicker than instant oatmeal, but that's why I prefer it. You can always stir in more milk or applesauce to thin it a little.</p> <p>The leftovers really firm up so I tend to add some water before I reheat them (I make a crockpot of them for myself to eat over the course of a week) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-make-oatmeal-overnight-in-the-crock-pot#post-1467362 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 16:31:30 +0000 coopsmama 1467362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaryM: Thanks for the input. The double boiler method looks like it could solve all my worries! :)</p> <p>@littlebug: Ooooh interesting! I'm wondering if it was just the particular recipe you used or if that's the case with all slow cooked oats. I doubt I would like it either if it were super thick! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-make-oatmeal-overnight-in-the-crock-pot#post-1467319 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 16:23:35 +0000 littlebug 1467319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tried it once and didn't like the way it turned out - it was SUPER thick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-make-oatmeal-overnight-in-the-crock-pot#post-1467313 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 16:22:29 +0000 MaryM 1467313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've made this one, and her apple version (there are variations toward the bottom of the post) <a href="http://www.theyummylife.com/Slow_Cooker_Pumpkin_Pie_Oatmeal" rel="nofollow">http://www.theyummylife.com/Slow_Cooker_Pumpkin_Pie_Oatmeal</a></p> <p>Her double boiler method makes it pretty fool proof burn/sticking wise. </p> <p>I prefer her apple version and haven't double boiled it, and it usually only takes 4-5 hours to cook. Double boiling extends the cook time a little, and also make sure you cook it on low if you leave it overnight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-make-oatmeal-overnight-in-the-crock-pot#post-1467294 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 16:18:22 +0000 coopsmama 1467294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>And if you have, has it been burnt or turned out? I am thinking about making steel cut oats in the crock for DH for breakfast tomorrow (he leaves super early) but don't want to risk it if it's just going to be a waste! Reviews online for various recipes are super mixed! TIA! :) </p>
