Warm soft raisins and almonds, brown sugar and soft oats cook slowly to create a warm muesli-like breakfast cereal. My kids and I are completely hooked on crockpot oatmeal. I've been making it at least twice a week for the past few months. (I swear I won't post another crockpot oatmeal recipe for at least a month!) This is actually an oatmeal that I crave. I can hardly believe that I wrote that. I've always enjoyed oatmeal, but I rarely crave it. This variation makes me grin ever single time that I make it. There has never been a single bite leftover. My kids would eat multiple bowls of this if I let them.
Slow Cooked Almond Raisin Oatmeal
Yield: 4-5 servings
2 1/2 cups old fashioned oatmeal
1/2 cup sliced almonds
1/2 cup raisins
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
4 cups milk
Place all dry ingredients in the crockpot and stir to mix. Add the milk, stir again and cover with the lid. Cook on HIGH for 1 hour or on LOW for 1-2 hours, stirring occasionally, or until desired consistency. The oatmeal is ready to eat when it is warm.
* I used a 2 quart crockpot for this recipe, but it would work fine in a larger one. Just watch the oatmeal and see if it is cooking more quickly than the recipe describes.

Wow, it looks great! :) I would love to share some of your recipes in my "Enjoy your food" posts :) Let me know if it's ok..
ReplyDeleteOatmeal and raisins is one of my favourite breakfasts, I usually add coconut. I've just had breakfast looking at the photo makes me want to eat again!
ReplyDeleteYou make this sound so tempting! I love raisins and would really like to try it. However, the rest of my family isn't so big on raisins. I guess that would leave more for me!
ReplyDeleteI feel such a sense of kinship with your blog...you are always posting exactly what I feel like eating or making. I guess I fall on the slightly more lazy end of this idea, though. Ive been trying to perfect the overnight crockpot oatmeal! Yours looks so good, though, I will just have to get up early and try it.
ReplyDeleteThis looks amazing! I love oatmeal raisin anything! YUM!
ReplyDeleteHonestly, nothing can beat a good bowl of oatmeal.
