I was really excited when I first saw a recipe for crock pot oatmeal on Pinterest. I mean who doesn’t like a crock pot recipe. And it cooks while you are sleeping and is ready for you to eat when you get up for breakfast! It doesn’t get much better than that.

I searched the Internet for different crock pot oatmeal recipes and noticed that some of them use steel cut oats and some use old-fashioned oatmeal.

 

Either work great but there might be a little change in the consistency. You definitely don’t want to use quick cooking oats, they will cook too fast.

 

I recently started stocking up on some pantry basics and purchased my first 25 lb bag of old-fashioned oatmeal! I think it worked out to about .50 a pound. Gotta love that.

  1. Love this recipe! I like to add raisins, but they have to be added in the last 30-60 minutes. Otherwise, they bubble up and get mushy. Overnight, I do about 6-7 hours depending on how thick you like it. Thank you for posting!


  2. I doubled the recipe using two cups of old fashioned and two cups of steel cut oats. I also substituted the brown sugar with maple syrup. It came out great.


  3. I made this substituted half of the water with apple cider. Also cooked on low for 4 hours. I feel 8 would have been too dried out. It was perfect!


  4. Depends of the size of your crock pot! I don’t think a double recipe would fit, but 1.5x recipe might fit.


  5. I am wanting to make this for a potluck. Could I double the recipe and fit in the crock pot or should I do 1.5x recipe?


  6. Hi! I don’t remember for sure but it does make quite a bit. I would say at least 6-8 servings.


  7. Good! I added a little milk in the morning as it got a touch dry being in overnight, but it was tasty.
