Sometimes I throw in some cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice
Place all ingredients in a 2 quart slow cooker. Cover and cook on LOW 6-8 hours. It might form a "crust" around the outside. Just scrape it down with a spoon and stir.
Serve with whatever you like to eat oatmeal with -- on its own, or with milk, maple syrup, cinnamon etc.
I make it at night and wake up to yummy oatmeal.

Thank you, that sounds fabulous. Can I substitute low-fat milk for 1 or 2 cups of the water, or will that fuck it up? I also read some recipe reviews on line that strongly suggested cooking it on the "stay warm" setting instead of low to keep it from burning. Thoughts?
