    I have not tried this recipe but have made oatmeal in the crockpot. Use the steel cut oats, they take much longer to cook. For 1 cup of steel cut oats, use 4 1/2 cups water. You can still add everything else that this recipe called for - 3/2/10

    I looked this up elsewhere on the web. It said to be sure and use Steel-cut oats. It also suggested to put the mixture in a smaller bowl, set it inside the crockpot and to fill the crockpot with water to the bowl's height (sort of like a double boiler.) - 3/8/11

    I read reviews and went with the steel cut oats. 1 cup oats, 4 cups water, 1 cup skim milk. I also added 1tsp vanilla. I reduced the raisins and brown sugar by 1/2. My batch made 5 1-cup servings.To each serving, I added 1/2 scoop of vanilla whey protein powder (11g protein). Delicious & healthy!!! - 3/9/11

    Very tasty but was cooked in an hour. Had to add extra water. Maybe newer crock pots are hotter. I also froze a serving and when thawed the taste was as good as the original. - 1/21/08

    One thing to keep in mind is that crockpots are designed to cook the best when they are at least 2/3 of the way full. Since this isn't a large recipe, might need to use a smaller crockpot or make 1 & 1/2 recipes at once to keep from burning. - 1/26/10

    I omitted the apple. Used Craisins instead of raisins and pecans over almonds. Very good! It only took 90 minutes on low to cook...so I'd check on this before going to bed, or you might not have the breakfast you thought you'd wake up to! - 2/17/08

    why would you make quick cooking oats in a crockpot overnight. I could see steel cut oats maybe, but not quick. - 3/8/11

    Should have read the reviews before trying this. It burnt. The part in the middle that wasn't destroyed tasted good, so I gave it an extra star for that. - 2/26/11

    This is a great way to wake up in the morning, even my never-time-for-breakfast husband made time for a bowl.
    I did skip the nuts, and used skim milk. - 7/30/07

    I did take out the nuts and raisins and doubled the apple. Also only used 3 tbs of brown sugar. Added 3 cups nonfat milk and 1 c water. Started this on low at 12am and it was total mush except apples by 7am.My girls just picked out the apple and said to sweet. ok maybe use tougher oats next time. - 1/13/09

    It started to brown at the sides at 8 hours, so I added another cup of water and that kept too much damage from happening. I doubled the apple and added cardamom, the cardamom was I think a mistake; but not a terrible one. I added a little vanilla soy milk to my bowl. Very tasty! - 8/16/08

    Cooking overnight is probably not the thing to do with this recipe. However I thought it was very tasty. Definitely put a new spin on oatmeal now I will probably eat it more. - 2/23/10

    Awesome. I love this. I don't see where 7 servings are coming from though. I added an extra cup of water and still only had 4 1 cup servings. Any less than that wouldn't fill me up. On my way to go make some more right now. - 9/21/08

    I would use half the sugar called for in the recipe. While it was surprisingly delicious (I don't usually mix milk with oatmeal), it was a bit on the sweet side. (I used rice milk, not cow milk because I'm vegan). I plan to make this again and again. GREAT and EASY recipe. - 1/4/08

    Well, I should have read the comments below because mine was almost burned. The center of the oatmeal was edible and actually good although it was somewhat dry so I had to put a little more milk on it. I also had to leave the balance in the crockpot soaking so I can clean it this evening. :) - 10/22/12
