I have been wanting to make homemade oatmeal for a while now. More often then not, we find ourselves caught up in the moment, running out of time, and using those little instant oatmeal bags. Sure, they taste good, but they aren't the healthiest. My 16 month old son, Austin, looooooooves oatmeal. He has about 4 things in his breakfast rotation and oatmeal is playing a starring role. I have made an effort since started eating solids to make them myself from scratch. We want to try to avoid so many processed foods in his diet because there are whole, healthy, and delicious foods at our finger tips. Austin has made this somewhat difficult being somewhat of a picky eater, but at least we know what he likes and can work with that. This recipe is easy to fix, healthy, and cheap! You can easily store serving sizes in zip lock freezer bags and freeze them to have on hand. I am also going to try this recipe with different fruits, and I would imagine you could leave the fruit out altogether, and add whatever fresh fruits you want each time you re-heat it.

This sounds great and super easy to make. As oatmeal lovers, we make a Baked Oatmeal that is really good. Check it out on our blog and let me know what you think.

This crock pot oatmeal is wonderful! I made some and plan on keeping it in the refrigerator to use as a healthy "snack" or dessert. I never thought of using the crock pot to make oatmeal in but it's a great idea. Thank you! ;D

This turned out so good. I can't believe I've been using the quick cook oatmeal, this is so much better! I add a bit of cinnamon in the crock pot
