Rice Cooker Toddler Overnight Oatmeal Food

CREAMY BREAKFAST OATMEAL (RICE COOKER)

Steps:

• Place all ingredients, except dates, in cooker; stir gently to combine; sprinkle dates on top.
• Close the cover, set on Porridge cycle.
• NOTE1: This recipe is designed for a rice cooker with fuzzy logic - use the porridge setting. If you have a regular rice cooker, you will need to watch it to determine when the oatmeal is done, probably 25 to 30 minutes, depending on your cooker.
• NOTE2: Steel cut oats vary slightly. With some brands I find I need to reduce the milk to 1 1/2 cup to get the right consistency.
• NOTE3: You can substitute vanilla flavored soy milk for the milk plus vanilla extract.

RICE COOKER STEEL-CUT OATS

Steps:

• Combine the oats and salt in a rice cooker. If using a model with a porridge setting and a cooking timer, stir in 3 1/2 cups cold water. If using a standard model, stir in 4 cups cold water.
• If your machine has a timer setting, set it to start cooking 2 hours before you want to eat your oatmeal. If it doesn't have a timer, turn on the machine right before you go to bed. The machine should automatically go to a warming setting after it cooks the oatmeal, but check your machine to make sure.
• Gently stir the oatmeal, then divide among bowls or airtight containers to eat on the go and add the toppings of your choice.

RICE COOKER OATS

Steps:

• Mix oats, water, milk, honey, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt together in a rice cooker.
