How to Make Crock Pot Hot Whole Grain Cereal

  1. Spray the inside of your 6-quart slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In the slow cooker, combine: 1 cup whole grains (see ingredient list for suggestions), 1/2 cup dried fruit (raisins, cranberries, chopped apricots – your choice!), 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  3. Add 3 cups water and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the slow cooker. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
  4. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours. Check occasionally and stir gently to prevent sticking. The cooking time may vary depending on your slow cooker and the type of grains used.
  5. Once cooked, stir the cereal thoroughly before serving. If the cereal is too thick, add a splash of water or milk until you reach your desired consistency.
  6. Serve warm and enjoy! Top with your favorite additions like nuts, seeds, maple syrup, or a dollop of yogurt.
