Slow Cooker Banana Oatmeal
I love a good hearty bowl of oatmeal for breakfast. There really is nothing better to start the day off right. Especially on a chilly Wyoming morning.
This recipe is perfect for using up older bananas that have started to turn brown. I don’t know about your kids, but once the banana skins start getting little brown spots my kids refuse to eat them.
While banana bread is always a standby recipe for using up over-ripe bananas. Sometimes I want to make something else with them. Something a little healthier. Something that I am not tempted to eat the whole loaf of banana bread.
Just me? Okay…
Even if you are the only one who likes to eat oatmeal this recipe is great. Because you can just put the leftovers in the refrigerator and heat them up throughout the week. I just add a splash of milk or water to loosen it up a little bit and then heat in the microwave for about a minute.

I just made this and it is very good! It’s the first crock-pot oatmeal that actually turned out for me. It’s also a great way to use up old bananas.
Thanks Paula!. And I know what you mean about using up old bananas. Banana bread is good, but one can only eat so much!
