All add ingredients to slow cooker and stir. (see note below)
Cook for about 4-5 hours on low.
Stir before serving and add a little brown sugar and additional milk for each serving. Raisins optional.
Baked Method: Grease a 1-1/2 qt. casserole dish, combine oatmeal ingredients and bake in oven for 1 hr at 350 degrees,
NOTE: I added all ingredients except maple syrup and water before bed. Then got up in the middle of the night to add the water and maple syrup, and turned crock pot on to cook. Time it according to when you want to eat breakfast. Another option is to make during the day and heat up in the morning.
