You know I can’t go too long without a cake flavored oatmeal for breakfast. This oatmeal can brighten up the most dreary day with a vanilla base flecked with pineapple and chopped cherries.
I finally decided I’m going to Eat Write Retreat in May and will hopefully learn some cool tips. I will definitely learn something about taking pictures, since I really know nothing at this point. Most of the pictures on this blog are actually taken with my camera phone. It has more mega-pixels than my older camera!
Slow Cooker Pineapple Upside-Down Cake Oatmeal
2 to 3 servings
**This recipe uses a smaller slow cooker that’s 1 1/2 to 2 quarts
- 1/2 cup Bob’s Red Mill steel-cut oats
- 2 cups Unsweetened So Delicious Coconut Milk
- 1/2 cup minced pineapple (fresh, frozen, or canned)
- 6 cherries, chopped (fresh or frozen)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 to 2 tablespoon(s) sweetener of your choice
The night before: Spray your crock with some oil to help with clean up later. Add everything but sweetener. Cook on low over night (7 to 9 hours).
In the morning: Stir your oatmeal well. It may seem watery at the top but if stirred it should become a more uniform consistency. Stir in the sweetener.
