CROCK POT HOT WHOLE GRAIN CEREAL
I have really been getting into hot cereals lately. This is a good one, cause you just put the cereal in the crock pot, and let it do the work! All these grains go into the crock pot uncooked. The proportions are critical in this recipe. Use any combination of whole grains you would like, as long as the total equals one cup, for every three cups of water used.

RUSTIC GRAIN CEREAL
A hot morning breakfast loaded with whole grains and fruit, with the added crunch of toasted nuts. I like to make mine on Sundays and warm some in the microwave on weekday mornings for a quick hot nutritious breakfast.

Tips:
- Choose the right cereal: Steel-cut oats and rolled oats are the best choices for crock pot cereal. They have a longer cooking time, which allows them to absorb more liquid and become creamy.
- Use a slow cooker liner: This will make cleanup a breeze. Just lift the liner out of the slow cooker and discard it.
- Add your favorite toppings: Once the cereal is cooked, you can add your favorite toppings such as fruit, nuts, seeds, and spices.
- Experiment with different flavors: You can add different spices, extracts, or flavorings to the cereal while it is cooking. This will give it a unique flavor that you will love.

Whole grain crock pot cereal is a delicious and healthy breakfast option that is easy to make. With a little planning, you can have a hot, nutritious breakfast waiting for you in the morning. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy breakfast, give whole grain crock pot cereal a try.
