Ingredients




4 1/2 cups Water
1 cup Steel cut oats
1 cup Dried fruit
1 dash Ground nutmeg
1 dash Ground mace
1 dash Ground cinnamon

Preparation

1 Place water, oats, dried fruit, and spices in a slow cooker. Stir. Cook on low for 8 - 10 hours. When it is done, the mixture should be like a thick soup, so you may not need to add any additional liquid for serving.

About


HELPFUL HINTS: Each slow cooker is a little different from the others, so you may have to adjust the amount of water needed.
For added flavor experiment with adding different spices and dried fruits. You could also try using brown rice, barley, rye berries, whole oat groats, or wheat berries in place of the steel cut oats. Cracked grains, such as oatmeal or cracked wheat, may get too mushy for some tastes.
