The New Breakfast of Champions

"Mom, you're awesome.  That's the bomb.  You're going to do that again, right?  Please?"  Music to my ears!  Needless to say, that one's a keeper; it's warm, yummy, and nutritious.  The magical concoction in question was groats from the crockpot, warm and waiting when the little darlings ventured downstairs this morning.  Added bonus:  I threw it all in last night before I went up to bed.  No hassle for me this morning!  I'm all for ANYTHING that reduces morning hassle.

The Breakfast of Champions 
     (I made 6 cups...you can adjust the amount to fit your needs.  Just keep a 4-1 ratio of water to grain)

1-1/2 c.  steel cut oat groats
6 c. water
1/2 c. sucanat
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. ground cloves
2 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and chopped


Stir all ingredients together in crock pot.  Cover and cook on low for about 8 hours.


*We ate ours with a generous dollop of plain homemade yogurt.  Enjoy!
