When I saw this recipe posted by Danica on Friends for Weight Loss the other day, I knew I wanted to try it. What I didn't know, was how happy my family was going to be to be able to scoop themselves out a nice warm breakfast as they each got up...at different times of the morning. My sons and husband added sugar to their servings...I opted for some splenda. This is a really easy way to get everyone to eat a healthy breakfast before they go out the door to work or school...and it makes plenty to heat up another day! Be sure to use REAL steel cut oats ( NOT the quick cooking steel cut oats, nor the old fashioned oats...they will not stand up to the extended cooking time) I used frozen peaches as the original recipe suggested, but the beauty of this recipe is that you can use virtually ANY frozen fruit to make your own masterpiece!

1 TBS. pure vanilla extract

- Spray the inside of your crock pot with nonstick spray. MUST DO or you will have a sticky mess to deal with!
- Combine all ingredients in the crockpot and cook on low for 8 - 10 hours. ( I cooked mine from 10pm to 7am and the oats were perfect. I turned the pot off, but they kept warm for an hour or so afterward)
- Remove cinnamon sticks and stir well.
