Tasty Tuesday

Summer is a great time to bring that Crock-Pot back out!  No heating up the house and this breakfast will be ready for you in the morning!


Slow Cooker Banana Nut Oatmeal

Ingredients

• 1 cup steel cut oats
• 1 ripe banana - mashed
• ¼ cup chopped walnuts
• 2 cups skim milk (or almond milk)
• 2 cups water
• 2 tablespoons flax seed meal
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• ½ teaspoon nutmeg
• ½ teaspoon salt
• banana slices, walnuts or brown sugar - optional garnish

Instructions

1. Place all ingredients in slow cooker and stir until well combined.
2. Cook overnight on Low for 8 hours.
3. In the morning, stir oatmeal with a fork to loosen the steel cut oats and make sure everything is fully incorporated.
4. Serve warm with banana slices, chopped walnuts or a pinch of brown sugar if you wish.

Notes

For easier clean-up and to avoid the slight "crusty" residue inside the slow cooker, place all ingredients in a glass bowl that fits into the slow cooker then add enough water to fill the lower half of the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours.
