Creamy Breakfast Oatmeal Rice Cooker
This is from a wonderful book, the ultimate rice cooker cookbook, by hensperger and kaufmann. It makes a wonderful, creamy oatmeal with no watching or muss or fuss. Definitely use steel-cut oats, which have a wonderful texture, so superior to the regular stuff. I usually use dried cranberries, raisins or currants, instead of the dates.
Steps
Place all ingredients , except dates , in cooker.
Stir gently to combine.
Sprinkle dates on top.
Close the cover , set on porridge cycle.
If you have a regular rice cooker , you will need to watch it to determine when the oatmeal is done , probably 25 to 30 minutes , depending on your cooker.
With some brands i find i need to reduce the milk to 1 1 / 2 cup to get the right consistency.
Ingredients
steel cut oats, milk, pure vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, fine sea salt, pure maple syrup, dates
