Yum yum eat em up


I liked this so much last week after staying at the Vicks' I had to, no make that needed to make this before the Sunday Diablo ride.


Easy,

lot's left over for nuking,
and stuck to my ribs for 4 hours of ridin' today.


Good stuff!
I used soy milk in vanilla flavor instead of the half and half, and used raisins and apples, since we had them.
Also put a bit of cinnamon in there.


Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 8 hours,
Ingredients:
1 cup steel cut oats
1 cup dried cranberries
1 cup dates, chopped
4 cups water
1/2 cup half and half
2 tablespoons honey
Preparation:Spray inside of slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray. Combine all ingredients except half and half and honey in the slow cooker, cover and cook on LOW for 7 to 8 hours. Stir in half and half and honey, and serve.
If you like more texture in your oatmeal, you can toast the oats before cooking. Place them in a shallow layer on a cookie sheet and toast them at 350 degrees F. for 15-20 minutes, stirring once during cooking time, until oats are a darker gold color. Let cool completely before you combine with the rest of the ingredients in the recipe.
Stir well before serving. 4 servings

You can do it on the stovetop in about 20 minutes. Ali and I do steel cut oats on a regular basis...good stuff.

I only eat titanium cut oats.
It's lighter and doesn't rust.
