Layla is a huge oatmeal fan so I am always looking for creative ways of making it for her. One of my favorite blogs for kid friendly meals is called - Weelicious ™.
The recipe we tried this week was one she called Pumpkin Spice Oatmeal in the Crock Pot, I made a few of my own adjustments because that is what I do. It was a hit Layla and with me actually.
So here is the recipe link http://weelicious.com/2012/01/09/pumpkin-spice-oatmeal-in-the-crock-pot/print
and here is the recipe that way I made it.
Pumpkin Spice Oatmeal (Serves 4-6)
2 Cups Water
1 Can evoporated milk
1/4 cup half and half
1 Cup Organic Pumpkin Puree
1 tsp. Cinnamon
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 tsp. cloves
1 Cup Steel Cut Oats
1. Place all the ingredients in the crock pot and stir to combine.
2. Cover and cook on low for 5-9 hours (note that the cooking time can vary depending on your crock pot. Crock pots without non-stick surfaces tend to get hotter, so you’ll want to stick closer to a 5 hour cooking time). 5 hours was plenty for my crockpot
I served with a little bit of honey on the top.
SOOOO yummy and easy!
