Quick & Super Easy Crock Pot Oatmeal

This is a great way to wake up to the smell of mom's kitchen in the morning. It is super easy, and you can add your own toppings, just the way to like it!!

Ingredients

2 cups old fashioned oats (I get this in bulk, sometimes from Sam's Club, if you used the quick cooking ones, it turns out too creamy)
6 cups water, I think you need more than usual because of the long cooking time
cinnamon (optional)
dried fruits (optional)
spices (optional)

Directions

1. Put the oats and the water, along with anything else you want to add to the mix in the crock pot, turn on to low, and go to bed thinking about what a great breakfast you're going to have!
2. I scoop it out of the crock pot and eat it with maple syrup, or blueberry syrup, or pourable fruit, and soy milk--yum! My husband likes to use chocolate chips, I like sugar & milk.
3. I store in Tupperware containers 1 serving leftovers. To reheat leftovers, I usually add a little water, and stir it a couple of times while microwaving until it's hot.
4. You can add other flavorings as you like, such as dried fruits, other sweet spices, diced apples, etc.
5. I usually put raisins on after it's cooked because I like them chewy. I've been meaning to try dried cranberries.
