Crock Pot Oatmeal

Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day, but I am not good about waking up early enough to make it before work.  This recipe is a great option to feed a crowd, or just to make in advance on a Sunday night for the rest of the week.  The protein and fiber are a great way to start your day!

You Will Need:
1 1/2 cups Steel Cut Oats.  They have to be steel cut oats or they wont hold up in the crock pot.
8 cups milk- cow, soy or almond.  Alternately, you can substitute apple juice or water for a dairy free version.  I have not tested the recipe with rice or goat milk.
1/4-1/2 cup local (raw, if possible) honey (local honey helps with your allergies!)
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp pumpkin pie or apple pie seasoning (whatever you have on hand)
3 servings vanilla protein powder (optional)
Cooking spray
Large Crock Pot

Directions:
Combine the oats, salt, pumpkin pie seasoning and vanilla protein powder in a large bowl.  Stir until combined.  Add the milk, honey, and oat mixture to a large crock pot that has been sprayed with cooking spray.  Cook over night, on low, for 9 hours.  Serves 6.

Depending on how thick you like your oatmeal, you may want to add more milk to the individual servings.
