Oatmeal Cooked in a Rice Cooker
"I got very bored with standing around for 15 or 20 minutes every morning, stirring oatmeal. Wasted time! I kept thinking, "I could be on 'Zaar instead!" Then I came up with this idea, and now I am."

I can't tell you how many times I've made this recipe. It comes out perfect EVERY time. I use oat bran instead of wheat. We like ours sweet and add sugar with all the ingredients and use craisins instead of raisins. I'll put all the ingredients (less the water) in the rice cooker at night, measure out the water and put in the fridge. Whoever is 1st up just goes in the kitchen, pours in the water and stirs, plugs in the cooker and pushes the Quick Rice button. Mmmm

Fantastic! I've been eating this every weekday morning for the last four weeks and I'm still not tired of it! It's so easy to put together and fun to vary the ingredients. My favorite combo so far is rolled oats, steel cut oats, wheat bran, ground flaxseed, chopped pecans, dried apples and dried cranberries. I double the recipe and it makes enough for five servings throughout the week. Aside from being tasty, it just couldn't get any easier to make--that's my favorite part! -
I have a simple on-off rice cooker and this worked beautifully. I used 1/2 milk 1/2 water. Mine was actually done in 18 min. and had begun to stick to the bottom of the pan. I stirred in a little extra milk, brown sugar, and pecans and it's the perfect taste and texture. Thanks Jennny -
This oatmeal came out perfectly & was very easy to make. I wasn't sure if wheat bran was the same as wheat germ, but that was what I had, so I used it. I used dried cranberries & that added a nice flavor. I also used a bit more salt, for personal preference. The oatmeal had good texture, not too creamy. I am going to try doubling the recipe & keep a container in the fridge to scoop some out in the morning to take to work. (Note: I tried making larger batches, but it did not work well. Don't go there.) Thanks, Jenny! -
This is a good alternative method to the stove, the oven or the microwave. I have a brand new rice cooker, so I was glad that I came across this. Reading some of the other reviews, mine like wise was done in 15 minutes on the "white rice" setting. I did have a layer "cooked' on the bottom --even having sprayed the cooker with cooking spray --but it came off easily.

I thought that this was an excellent idea. Mine cooked in 15 min. but i also made alot of changes. I used half milk and half water. I switched the wheat bran for honey to sweeten in and i cooked some fresh peeled orage sections and raisins in it. I also added a dash of cinnamon before cooking. Served with a sprinkle of brown sugar and the rest of the orange on top. The only problem was i wish it made more. thanks for the recipe!!

I love to garden, both perennials and vegetables. I am always looking for recipes to fiddle with, especially good simple vegetable dishes. I try to use organic ingredients as much as possible.
