    Really like doing this in the crock pot. I usually leave them plain and add fruit, peanut butter etc to it as I go. I never add butter to the oats, but I imagine that would be good. Proportions are good for this standard steel oat crock pot recipe.

    This is very good. I am one person so I freeze what is left over in individual bowls, take it out and heat it up. - 1/25/11
