This is a great recipe for cold mornings. I usually put toppings out next to it and let the kids choose. They gobble it up. Don't turn it on until the second you go to bed though. It does tend to cook quicker than 7-8 hours.

Thank you for opening my eyes to see my crock pot as useful for what can be the most stressful time of the day for me! I think using applesauce instead of apples is gonna work better for my 'texture sensitive' family members, and add a little ground flax seed for a boost of omegas. Thanks again ;)

I can't wait to try this tonight - I was just saying that I need to eat Oatmel again in the mornings but it takes to much time. This sounds GREAT!!!

Has anyone made this for a large group? I need an easy breakfast for an overnight field trip for my kids' class. There will be 24 total. Just wondering if I multiplied this recipe by six if it would cook in 7-8 hours. thanks
