Different ways to cook oats!



I thought I would post about our favorite ways to eat oats around here.                 




Crock pot apple oatmeal
4 c. Milk                            
1/2 c. Brown Sugar    
2 T. Melted Butter                   
1/2 tsp. Salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
2 c. Oats (not quick oats)
2 c. Apples, peeled and chopped
1 c. Dates or Raisins (optional)


Butter crock pot with approx. 1/4 c. butter.(Be sure to butter well or you will
have a really hard time getting it clean!)
Combine all ingredients and mix well.Cook on low overnight or for 8-9 hours.
Serve with lots of butter! And brown sugar to your liking.Even though it has
brown sugar in it we always add a little extra!
     We double it to feed our family, and I sprinkle a little cinnamon on
top before I cover it for the night.




Oatmeal Crisp
1/2 c. Melted Butter
2/3 c. Brown sugar
3 c. Old Fashioned Rolled Oats
Fruit-Apples or fruit of you choice


 Put melted butter in a bowl, Add brown sugar and old- fashioned
rolled oats.cover the bottom of a 9 by 13 pan with fruit (we use apples)
pour the oatmeal mixture on top and bake at 350 for about 20-25 minutes.
 Serve warm.Wonderful!




Peanut Butter Granola
6 T.Oil (We use butter)
