Don't you love throwing ingredients into a crockpot when you go to bed and then waking up in the morning to breakfast already being made. It's almost like magic or something! The downfall is that you have to pull out the ingredients and get them thrown into the crockpot at the end of a long day. The plus, waking up the next morning to a prepared meal. You'll have to weigh those pros and cons for yourself.
This is the second overnight steel cut oatmeal recipe that we have tried and we prefer it over the other. This had a nice oatmeal taste with the cinnamon and maple flavors, and it had a good texture with the soft oats and crunchy hazelnuts. Enjoy!
