This recipe is a favorite of my family and co-workers. You start it in a crock pot on low right before you go to bed and then when you wake up you have the creamiest oatmeal ever! Some of the toppings we use in our oatmeal are the following: Chocolate chips, pecans, walnuts, banana's, craisins, raisins, chopped dates, granola and if you want to go over the top put a dollop of nutella in and stir till it melts! Kids get a kick out of scooping out their own oatmeal and then going crazy with the toppings and being happy with a full warm belly. When I work night shift at the hospital I take in all the ingredients for the oatmeal and the girls bring in the toppings. I start the oatmeal around 10:30 p.m. and by 5-6:00 a.m. everybody has a homemade creamy warm breakfast. What a way to start your morning!
