Steel Oats with Applesauce and Craisins

Lately I have been having Quaker Oatmeal Variety Packs for breakfast.  I always feel like they are full of sugar and that they can't possibly be that healthy.  I heard some people talking about Steel Cut Oat in the Slow Cooker and I thought I would give them a try.  They are supposed to be less processed and higher in fiber than the basic rolled oats.  This was so easy to do and since I cooked them during the day I got home from work yesterday and my kitchen smelled amazing!  I divided the batch into 6 containers so I could grab them before work everyday and not have to worry about portioning them out.

Ingredients:
1 1/2 c Steel Cut Oats
6 c Water
1 pint applesauce (we can our own)
3/4 c Craisins
1 teaspoon Cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon All Spice

First gather all of your ingredients:

Mix everything together in the Slow Cooker.  This was so simple I actually did it before I left the house for work instead of the night before.

It wasn't really a recipe that takes a good picture before cooking.  I set it on low for nine hours and then it switched to warm for two and a half more hours.  When I first looked at it I thought it had turned out bad because it was still watery.

I stirred it and let it set for about 20 minutes and it started to look like normal Oatmeal!

I had it for breakfast this morning and I still feel pretty full! I may start doing this at the beginning of every week and just start adding different flavors to keep it interesting!

I'm still not sure what kind of tool I can use to calculate the normal Nutritional Information.
