Top Crock-Pot Oatmeal Recipes

Here’s a list of top Crock-Pot oatmeal recipes. Oatmeal is a healthy & comforting breakfast that’s also a great meal for the slow cooker. 

What Is A Slow Cooker?

A slow cooker is an appliance that simmers food at very low heats for a long period of time. The thing that makes a slow cooker distinct from all the other methods of preparing food is that slow cookers can cook food at a much lower temperature than other appliances. You may also know slow cookers by the name ‘Crock-Pot’, this is a trading name owned by Sunbeam Products. Slow cookers are typically used because the low heat that they operate at can allow typically tough, chewy foods to become tender, and ‘melt-in-the-mouth’.

What Is Oatmeal?

Oatmeal is a term used to describe a porridge made from ground, steel cut, or rolled oats. Each of these terms just means that the oat has been removed from a husk and is ready to cook! Oatmeal may also be called hot cereal, which also covers cream of wheat and grits, but we are just going to focus on making oatmeal today.

Most people are familiar with the quick oatmeal that you can get in many flavors and from many brands at your local grocery store, but what many people don’t know is how cheap and easy it is to make your own oatmeal at home. When you make oatmeal at home, you can add a variety of healthy ingredients to it like fruits and nuts to increase the benefits you get from your morning meal! Oatmeal is a whole grain, too, so you can feel better about making it for your children over sugar filled breakfast cereal.

Tips 

  • Prior to use, it’s important to spray the slow cooker generously with cooking spray. This will keep the oatmeal from sticking. The oatmeal might still stick to the sides a bit but it won’t be nearly as bad. 
  • Top your oatmeal with your preferred toppings. Suggestions include additional sweetener, chopped nuts, raisins, fruit, granola, etc.
