As you may have read in previous posts, you know I LOVE slow cooking. I’m always searching for some new out-of-the-ordinary meal to try in my slow cooker. Recently, I ran across two great-looking breakfast recipes!
We just had this Breakfast Cobbler yesterday, and it was delicious, and healthy! I adjusted the original recipe for my family of 6, and we had leftovers. Here’s what I did:
- 6 apples, peeled and diced
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 3 tbsp. butter, melted
- 3-4 cups granola cereal
- 1/2 cup oats
Place apples in slow cooker and mix in remaining ingredients. Cover and cook on low for 7-9 hours (overnight) or high 2-3 hours.
I used a mixture of Gala and Granny Smith apples for fun. I also used a granola cereal with raisins in it. Some members of my family suggested we could go without the raisins next time. : )
Breakfast Rice is the other new one I found, and we haven’t tried it yet. I’ll be using it this next week. We’ve always liked rice for breakfast with sugar, butter, and milk, so I was excited to find a healthier version:
- 1 cup long grain brown rice
- 1 cup unsweetened apple juice
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup raisins (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Combine all the ingredients in slow cooker and cook on low for 8-10 hours. Sweeten as desired.
I can’t stress how nice it is to wake up to a busy morning schedule and know that breakfast is ready! I even go to bed happy when I make a slow cooker breakfast!
