Ingredients

3 cups milk
2 cups old fashioned rolled oats
2 bananas sliced thinly
1 cup strawberries chopped
½ cup pecans chopped small
¼ cup light brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
Optional: additional sliced bananas berries and pecans for garnish

Instructions

Place all ingredients in the crockpot. Cook on HIGH for 45 minutes to 1 hour or on LOW for 1-2 hours, stirring occasionally, or until desired consistency. I rarely remember to stir mine and it turns out fine every time. The longer it cooks, the thicker the oatmeal will be.

Notes

Depending on your preference, the bananas can be added at the beginning of the cooking time or stirred in at the end. I make it both ways and most of my family doesn't seem to notice a difference. I prefer my bananas to be a little firmer, so if I think about it in time, I'll wait to add them at the end. The oatmeal is great both ways though.
