     I make a similar recipe with steel cut oats (1 1/2 cups), NO evaporated milk, 1/4 cup sliced almonds, and 5 cups of water for 8 hours; love it. - 3/28/12

     My favorite breakfast is oatmeal! Sometimes, I don't have time to make it though. This recipe makes it possible to have it every morning! I put it in six microwaveable dishes with lids, and refrigerate. Then pack one to go if breakfast is going to be a little later, and not at home! - 5/16/12

     Terrific recipe, and versatile--can easily reduce it or increase it, depending on how many you need to serve, add or change ingredients, and slow cook it or not! I used steel-cut oats, added water and a half cup of Greek yogurt in place of evapo milk and natural unsweetened applesauce for one apple. - 5/9/12

     I have a similar recipe but doesn't use milk. For the liquid I use Apple juice, instead of water. I also add walnuts, raisins, and nutmeg. Every batch tastes just a bit different as I love to experiment. - 3/29/12

     Just a comment for those who don't know this already: but the oats that take 3 minutes in the microwave/stove top are QUICK oats. 'Real' oats take much longer and is what should be used here. Also, subbing apple juice for the milk is a very high calorie sub. add a star anise or cloves for a change. - 11/23/12

     Waking up to the smell of fresh apple cinnamon oatmeal was wonderful, but I didn't like the consistency of the recipe. This was much too mushy for me. If you like runnier oatmeal, you will like this recipe. - 3/27/12

     The original recipe is very good. Last night I discovered I didn't have the apples. So I substituted 1 c. unsweetened blueberry applesauce and cut the water back by 1/2 cup. It worked great and shows how versatile this recipe can be. No reason to miss a hot breakfast ever again, even running late! - 3/8/12

     Made this last night using 5 cups of water and and cooked it for 9 hours. It turned out perfect. Will be great having leftovers for work the rest of the week. - 4/3/12
  • PAULATX1
     The taste was fine but the consistency was soupy. Read other comments and would like to use steel cut oats next time. - 4/2/12
  • JANICEONE1
     this is a very good recipe except I just make it with water instead of milk and add a little brown sugar to it.it makes a lot so I freeze my portions and I'm ready for my early mornings at work. - 11/22/13
  • SUZYMOBILE
     I made this during the day, so that it was done at night, then refrigerated it in 1-cup containers overnight. The consistency was perfect in the morning! Great recipe, and I'll look forward to trying it with steel-cut oats. - 12/2/12
  • TERRYN3
     When I make this, I use 2 cups steel-cut rolled oats, 4 cups water (no milk), 1 tsp cinnamon, 1 apple diced and 1/2 cup raisins. When I serve, I add splenda or truvia because it needs "something"! This is so nice to wake up to. - 6/19/13

     Made with vanilla soy milk-was fabu! - 3/28/12
  • MERNONE
     I make this but reduce the water to five cups and add a little ground cloves, ginger chopped walnuts and raisins to cook all night. The raisins plump so nice and are like a little burst of flavor all their own when you bite into them. - 11/22/12
  • KKSTILES
     Sounds good. Can Fat Free Evaporated Milk be used? - 3/8/12
  • CD12757911
     If the recipe calls for granny smith apples, why are the apples in the picture red? - 11/8/12
  • BSHAW40
     Very nice. I added some Splenda to the mix for added sweetness. I also let it cook a little longer to thicken. - 5/12/12
  • BERINABOB
     Not quite sure what I did wrong but it was more "soupy" than anything and rather bland. Once it cooled it did "gel" more but never even remotely looked like the photo that's shown. I'll try this again but will cut back on the water. - 4/10/12
  • TIREDOFTHEYOYO
     We were a little disappointed with this, as we have tried slow cooker oats before and this ended up quite mushy. We did use regular rolled oats and I wonder if it would have turned out better with thick rolled oats. We have had better luck with steel cut oats in the slow cooker. - 4/7/12
  • MARIEBART
     It tastes fine but it lacks the oatmeal texture I like. - 1/6/13

    Take the same ingredients and make on the stove top. Chef Galvin

     It's absolutely fabulous! - 11/8/12

     My son loved it but my husband said it was too bland. I will try it again and use some of the other add ins to see if my family enjoys the taste more. - 10/26/12
  • PROJECTLORNA
     I, too, thought it was soupy for my taste. My husband likes his oatmeal that way. I put mine on the stove and cooked a little longer at higher temp. I added nutmeg and walnuts. Do like the convenience of putting it in one cup containers for another breakfast. - 10/17/12
  • MICHELLE_391
     I used rolled oats as others have suggested, and the consistency is, indeed, like pudding. Thanks everyone! However, it was too bland for me although I added more cinnamon. I'll add a little maple syrup. Next time, I'll also try adding raisins. - 9/25/12
  • CD13053872
     We found this a little bland. :( I had to add some sugar and more cinnamon and it still was just ok. It may be a good base recipe to get my oatmeal making in progress though. I have lots of things I want to try with this. - 9/23/12
