CREAMY BREAKFAST OATMEAL (RICE COOKER)
This is from a wonderful book, The Ultimate Rice Cooker Cookbook, by Hensperger and Kaufmann. It makes a wonderful, creamy oatmeal with no watching or muss or fuss. Definitely use steel-cut oats, which have a wonderful texture, so superior to the regular stuff. I usually use dried cranberries, raisins or currants, instead of the dates.

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.
CREAMY SWEET POTATO OATMEAL
Loaded with sweet potato and warm spices, this oatmeal is a nutritious and tasty breakfast! It's perfect for using up leftover sweet potatoes. Just adjust the sweetener and butter if your recipe already has them. Top with toasted pecans, walnuts, or coconut.

CREAMY SCOTTISH OATMEAL (WITH CROCK-POT INSTRUCTIONS)
Oh, man. Properly made steel-cut (aka Scottish or Irish) oatmeal will change your opinion about oatmeal. Scottish oatmeal, without the benefit of added fat, comes out creamy and delicious; the trick is the long cooking time. I had mine with milk added and, honestly, it was totally unnecessary. You can also make this in a crockpot; just fix it up before you go to bed and you will wake up to breakfast!

Steps:
- If you are making this in a crockpot, the first and only step is to throw everything together in a 2-quart crockpot [increase the water to 3-1/2 cups to allow for evaporation]. Okay, now nighty-nite! We'll see you in the morning!
- Otherwise, bring 1 cup milk and 3 cups water to a boil in a 2-quart saucepan.
- Stir in oats, spices, and raisins.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- When cooking is complete, stir in brown sugar, maple syrup, vanilla, pecans, and salt (don't add the salt with the boil; the oats won't cook right).
- If you are using a crockpot, you may notice that a crust has formed on the bottom of the crock after cooking. This is perfectly normal. You can eat it if you want to, or you can just leave it. Just make sure to transfer the recipe into a resealable bowl and soak your crockpot right away. This stuff will stick like glue if it dries.
- Serve! You can add more fresh or dried fruit, butter, more milk, whathaveyou, but it's awesome all on its own.

Steps:
- Bring 2 1/4 cups chocolate ilk and the salt to a gentle boil in a medium saucepan.
- Stir in dried oats and cinnamon. Reduce heat.
- Gently boil, uncovered, over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove from heat; let stand for 2 to 3 minutes to slightly absorb excess milk in mixture.
- To serve, stir vanilla into oatmeal, then gently stir in banana.
- Spoon oatmeal into bowls and pour 2 T chocolate milk over each serving.
Tips:
- Use rolled oats: Rolled oats are the best type of oats to use for creamy oatmeal because they cook quickly and have a creamy texture. Quick oats can also be used, but they will cook even more quickly and may not have as creamy a texture.
- Use milk or water: You can use either milk or water to make creamy oatmeal. If you use milk, it will make the oatmeal richer and creamier. If you use water, it will be lighter and less creamy.
- Add sweetener: If you like your oatmeal sweet, you can add sweetener such as sugar, honey, maple syrup, or stevia. You can also add fruit, such as bananas, berries, or apples, to naturally sweeten the oatmeal.
- Add spices: Spices can add a lot of flavor to creamy oatmeal. Some popular spices to add include cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cardamom.
- Cook oatmeal over low heat: Cooking oatmeal over low heat will help to prevent it from burning or sticking to the pot. It will also help to create a creamy texture.
- Stir oatmeal frequently: Stirring oatmeal frequently will help to prevent it from clumping and will also help to create a creamy texture.
- Let oatmeal cool slightly before serving: Letting oatmeal cool slightly before serving will help to prevent it from being too hot and will also help to thicken it.
Conclusion:
Creamy oatmeal is a delicious and nutritious breakfast that can be made in just a few minutes. It is a great way to start your day and can be customized to your liking. With these tips, you can make the perfect creamy oatmeal every time.
