Crockpot Oatmeal

Crockpot Oatmeal
(Shared by Debb)

My mom always did this and I thought it was a great idea and made it this way for my kids as they were growing up too....

Oatmeal is my favorite breakfast meal. It keeps me feeling full for a long time and is a good day starter food. Adding fresh fruit to oatmeal makes it even better, but you can leave the fruit out if you aren't fond of it.

You will need:
approx. two cups of milk,
1/2 cup brown sugar, to taste
1 tablespoon of butter,
one pinch of salt, [can leave out]
1 teaspoon of cinnamon,
1 cup of quick oats,
chopped apples, raisins,
any other fruit [I use peaches]

Start by spraying the crock pot with Pam and put all the ingredients inside, mix, and turn the pot on low heat. Be sure to put it in the pot the night before, it cooks overnight. Stir it a little in the morning and Voila! Ready and perfect!
