Serves 3-4
1 cup steel cut oats, dry
4 cups water
1/2 cup skim or low fat milk (or you can use almond, soy or coconut milk)
1 large (or two small) pears, sliced or chopped with skins (I used 1/2 cup of cannery dehydrated apples and no extra water)
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1 tbs brown sugar
Place all ingredients into the crock pot and let simmer on lowest setting for about 5-6 hours, a little longer if doubling. Don't substitute regular rolled oats, they can't stand up to long cooking times. It's a bit of a pain since you are hopefully getting more than 6 hours of sleep, so I just set my kitchen timer (or alarm) so I can get up and turn it off. If you have a crockpot or rice cooker that will quit after the timer runs out and "keep warm" then you are fine!
Sweeten with more brown sugar or add a tad more milk if needed when serving. It should be very thick and flavorful!
