Crockpot Oats

We eat a lot of hot cereal once the weather changes. I love the idea of having warm cereal waiting for us in the morning, so have tried many, many different Crockpot recipes over the years. We have always been disappointed.

Last night I set up the crockpot using this recipe and crossed my fingers.

The picture doesn't even begin to tell the story. Once again, we were disappointed. It was mushy slop that none of us would even try it.


It is in the refrigerator right now, waiting for me to think if something to do with it. I am thinking muffins.

So... what did I do wrong? Is that what they are supposed to be like, and I am just expecting too much? Is there a better recipe out there, or am I destined to eat smiley, mushy oats?
