Anyone looking for something new and yummy for breakfast? I haven't tried this recipe yet, but it's on my Monday morning breakfast menu. Wow, this is the first time in a long time I've fixed something for breakfast for my family. Usually everyone just grabs something while they're running out the door. I might need to hide in their rooms and film their faces when they wake up smelling this divine aroma.
I've been reading and looking for better ways to eat healthy and I ran across this delicious recipe in a health promoting magazine (Prevention). Try it, you'll love it!
INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 cups steel cut oats. Steel cut oats by the way are healthier for you than quick oats.
3 cups of milk
3 cups of water
1 cup cream or half and half
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
4 tbsp melted butter
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
2 large apples, peeled, cored and diced (best choice for apples, try honey crisp or Jonagold)
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup cranberries
Coat your slow cooker with cooking spray. Add all ingredients and mix well. Heat on low 8 hrs. Serve with extra milk and fruit. Add chopped nuts for some added deliciousness.
Make this right before you go to bed and it's perfect for breakfast come morning.
