My family loves oatmeal and I love this recipe! I'm not a morning person and it always feels like everyone is rushing to get out the door in the mornings at different times. My husband goes to work at O'dark:thirty and I know he loves to have a bowl of home cooked oatmeal all ready for him. I usually set out bowls and oatmeal toppings next to the crock pot so it's like a buffet style. For the toppings I usually do hemp hearts, dried fruit, banana chips, fresh fruit, peanut butter, nuts, seeds, and then there is always soy milk and regular milk in the fridge. This recipe makes a lot and usually it will serve our family of 4 twice! I have a huge crock pot so I make the whole recipe and keep the rest in the fridge to reheat later in the week but you could easily cut the recipe in half if you had a smaller crock pot. Another tip is usually I put the crock pot on one of those light timers that you can find at walmart (we use them at Christmas time for our tree lights and when we go out of town) and set the timer for 6 or 7 hours before my husband wants to eat so that way it's not overcooked.
