The result?
It was a success!
This is from the blog He and She Eat Clean and was shared by Facebook friend Sarah, whose family follows a clean eating plan.
Now, you can't mess with a South Dakota farm boy's diet too much. We are a mid western meat and potatoes eating family, with plenty of fruits and veggies, too. I am thankful that we eat the beef we raise, so we know exactly where the majority of our meat comes from. David doesn't complain about what I cook, but I also know not to veer too far off the meat and potatoes path lest he start. :o) I can't say I would do things much differently if I were single, since I was raised as a meat and potatoes girl myself.
Still, this recipe looked like something this family might like!
This was the first time I ever bought steel cut oats (which looks nothing like oatmeal) and almond milk. I am a descendant of dairy farmers. As long as you don't have a doctor's note saying you can't drink milk, you support the dairy farmers and you drink your milk!
I gathered all of my ingredients and stirred this together before bedtime. By the next morning, the kitchen smelled wonderful and all I had to do was stir and serve our breakfast! We did add a little more brown sugar and milk to our bowls, but other than that, it went over well! In fact, we all (except Rachel because of the almond milk) had a warmed up bowl for breakfast again today. Just add a little extra water on the 2nd day.
It makes 10-12 servings.
You will need:
3 cups steel cut oats
3 cups vanilla almond milk (original recipe says unsweetened, but I could only find regular)
10 cups water
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup brown sugar (original recipe calls for IDEAL brown sweetener)
3 T cinnamon
1-2 tsp. nutmeg
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
Spray crock pot with cooking spray. Mix all ingredients together in crock pot and cook on low for 8 hours. Stir before serving.
