Hot cereal is one of my favourite ways to begin the day, and happily, you can use your slow cooker to ensure that all family members get off to a nutritious start. Cook it overnight and turn the slow cooker to Warm in the morning. Everyone can help themselves according to their schedules.
Ingredient:
1 cup (250 ml) multigrain cereal, or ½ cup (125 mL) and ½ cup (125 mL) rolled oats
¼ tsp (1 ml) salt
4 cups (1 L) water
2 medium all-purpose apples, peeled and thickly sliced
¼ to 1/3 cup (50 to 75 ml) raisins (optional)
1¼ cups (300 ml) rolled or steel-cut oats
½ tsp (2 ml) salt
4 cups (1 L) water
Method of Cereal:
In prepared slow cooker stoneware, combine cereal, salt, water and apples. Cover and cook on Low for 8 hours or overnight. Just before serving, place raisins, if using, in a microwave-safe bowl and cover with water. Microwave for 20 seconds to soften. Add to hot cereal. Stir well and serve.
