Crockpot Oatmeal

We are not an oatmeal family. I sooo wish I started giving my kids oatmeal while they were babies so they would love it now. We are more of a pancake and cereal kind of family. Justin loved this and ate most of the peaches. The girls not so much. I really like it after I added some more Oatmeal and cooked a little longer. I have always wanted to try a breakfast crockpot recipe and see how it turned out in the morning. I would do this one again.

Ingredients:
3 1/2 cups Oatmeal-If you want more liquid than oatmeal stick with 2 cups.
8 cups water
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. cinnamon
2 cups peaches

Spray your crockpot dish with pam. Pour all ingredients except the peaches. Stir and cook on low for 8 hours. I slept in and cooked it for 10 hours and it was still ok. Also the recipe called for 2 cups oatmeal, but I thought it should be way more thicker so I changed it to 3 1/2. Also, changed the peaches from 1 cup to 2 cups. Before serving slice the peaches and throw them in, stir and serve.

Serves 8

This sounds really yummy. I will definitely be trying this. My kids love oatmeal. Yes, I have frozen brown bananas. I didn't read up on it first, but I peeled them and stuck them in a ziploc, then let the girls squish it all up. I think I microwaved it and dumped it right into my batter and the bread turned out fine.

Oh, about sprouts--The kind you buy at the store are typically mung bean sprouts which can be found at asian food stores (the beans). My mom did alfalfa when we were kids, but I'm not sure where she got the seeds. I did wheat grass from food storage, but didn't eat it...

Ingredients 1½ cups almond flour 3/4 cup canned pumpkin 3 large eggs 1 cup applesauce 1 tsp baking powder 1 tsp baking soda ½ tsp ground cinnamon 1½ tsp pumpkin pie spice 1/8 tsp sea salt 1/4 cup raw honey (optional) 2 tsp almond butter 1 Tbs sliced almonds Directions Preheat oven to 350℉. Coat muffin tins with coconut oil (or use paper muffin cups and add 1/2 tsp melted coconut oil to batter). Mix all ingredients and pour evenly into tins. Bake for 25 minutes on the middle rack. Sprinkle almonds on top immediately after taking them out of the oven.

Pomegranate Syrup

  4 cups pomegranate juice 1/2 cup sugar (I'm trying this with stevia to be more paleo friendly) 1 tablespoon freshly squeeze lemon juice   Place the pomegranate juice, sugar and lemon juice in a 4-quart saucepan set over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has completely dissolved. Once the sugar has dissolved, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the mixture has reduced to 1 1/2 cups, approximately 50 minutes. It should be the consistency of syrup. Remove from the heat and allow to cool in the saucepan for 30 minutes. Transfer to a glass jar and allow to cool completely before covering and storing in the refrigerator for up to 6 months.

Biscuits with Sausage Gravy

Ingredients: 1 pound breakfast sausage, hot or mild 1/3 cup all-purpose flour 3 to 4 cups whole milk, more to taste 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper, more to taste biscuits, warmed, for serving Directions: With your finger, tear small pieces of sausage and add them in a single layer to a large heavy skillet. Brown the sausage over medium-heat to medium-low. Sprinkle on half the flour and stir so that the sausage soaks it all up, then add more little by little. Stir it around and cook it for another minute or so, then pour in the milk, stirring constantly. Cook the gravy, stirring frequently, until it thickens. (This may take a good 10 to 12 minutes.) Sprinkle in the seasoned salt and pepper and continue until very thick and luscious. If it gets too thick too soon, just splash in another 1/2 cup of milk or more if needed. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Spoon the sausage gravy over the warm biscuits and serve immediately!
