a simple real food recipe :: crockpot apple oatmeal

One thing I always try to have my kids do is eat a good breakfast.  For years, I mean like 5 years straight my son ate his oatmeal mixed with yogurt and frozen berries for breakfast.  HE loves it and I got my daughter hooked on it too.  It keeps them full and it is good for you.

I wanted to try and mix up the oatmeal recipe for them and try something new.

Here is what I tried and they loved it.  And actually I loved it too.

I put butter on the inside of the crockpot and then added the following ingredients… cooking on low for 8 hours. This may vary depending on your crockpot:

1 cup of Organic Steel Cut oats, you can use Gluten Free ones too
4 organic apples peeled, cored, and cut into small cubes
1 1/2 cups water
1 1/2 cups of  milk (I used the Hilhof brand of milk because it is not ULP)
4 TBSP. butter, cut into small chunks (again I used Mooville butter)
1 1/2 tsp. ground organic cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground organic nutmeg
4 TBSP organic coconut sugar
Dash of salt

Stir and cover, cooking overnight until done. You could also top with raisins, nuts, or anything else you like to put on oatmeal.
