Wake Up With Slow Cooker Apple Cinnamon Steel Cut Oats

Breakfast can be a very difficult meal for a lot of people. I have struggled with breakfast on and off for several years. Like a lot of people, I just want coffee. Several studies over the years have linked skipping breakfast to gaining weight or overweight issues in children. Why don’t you ask your child’s teacher how many kids come to school hungry and unable to focus because they skipped breakfast. What kind of impact do you expect on their performance? Now, let’s translate that to an adult at work. How well will you be performing on an empty stomach?

Eating breakfast has many benefits including balanced blood sugars, less overeating throughout the day, and a more pleasant attitude. When choosing a breakfast option, eat something you like. Try to incorporate high fiber complex carbohydrates, protein, and healthy fat. This steel cut oatmeal recipe has all of those elements when served with milk.

    Are these hard to clean out of the slow cooker? I always have troubles with the clean-up. Do you have a trick? Because I WANT to make these!

      You may have to soak it a few minutes, but it’s fairly easy. I hope you enjoy them! It’s my favorite way to wake up!

I teach Child Nutrition through a university. One I teach Child Nutrition through a university. One of the first assignments I give is to have students reflect on the “food rules” they grew up with and if they still use them today. 🍦 It helps them see how food has impacted them throughout their life. 🍦 It helps them reflect on the helpfulness or danger of those rules for themselves and their families. 🍦It creates awareness so they don’t put those messages onto other people’s children whom they may work with in the future. 🍦 Children do NOT need food rules! They are naturally intuitive eaters that can self regulate. Your job is to supply what and when they eat. They determine how much! 👉 So did you have food rules growing up? What were they? How do they impact you today?
