Slow Cooker Vanilla Fig Oatmeal Topped with Baklava Filling

It’s day 9 of Love Your Oatmeal Week – which I am renaming to “Love Your Oatmeal Celebration” – so I sound a little less crazy! I am however a little obsessed with oatmeal and I think it’s the continued success of all my crazy flavor ideas that’s keeping me motivated. I was actually excited for this morning to come when I went to bed last night. Not an easy feat on a work night!

If you don’t have orange flower water it’s fine to leave it out. It adds a very subtle sweet flavor and aroma. Before buying any, make sure it’s food grade, which most Middle Eastern stores carry. I was unable to find food grade at my local Whole Foods.

You can leave off the topping altogether or just use a teaspoon or two of your favorite nut. Depending on how sweet your figs are you may need to add a little sweetener if you make it that way.

    Cool, oatmeal! It is so good for your digesting system and heart. Besides, it can last for a whole morning or afternoon so you will not need to eat any snacks during this period.

    Sounds amazing! I just bought some organic dried figs at Costco yesterday. I’m going to have to make this soon. Have you ever tried soaking your oats before to remove the enzyme inhibitors (phytic acid)? It make your oatmeal more digestible and allows your body to more readily absorb all the nutrients in the grain.

      I haven’t soaked my oats before, maybe I’ll try it over the weekend.
