Ingredients
- --3 cups rolled (not instant) oats (if gluten free, make sure they are certified)
- --1/2 cup brown sugar
- --2 tsp cinnamon
- --2 tsp baking powder
- --1 tsp salt
- --2 T flax meal (optional)
- --1 cup milk
- --2 eggs
- --2 tsp vanilla
- --1/4 cup butter, melted
- --3/4 cup dried fruit
Directions
-
I used a 4 quart round crockpot. You’re baking this, but no need to vent the lid of the crock; keep all the moisture in.
-
I really wanted this to take 6 hours on low so I could see if it could be done overnight. It took 4 3/4 on low for me——so unless you hardly sleep, do this in the day time so you can keep an eye on it.
-
Mix all the ingredients together in the crockpot. I dumped in all the dry stuff, then added the melted butter and milk. Stir well with a spoon—-make sure the baking powder gets dispersed evenly.
-
Cover and cook on low for 3-5 hours, checking every so often. This is done when the edges are brown and are beginning to crust, and the center is set. An inserted knife should come out clean.
-
Let it sit in the cooling crockpot for at least an hour before attempting to cut. The longer you let it sit, the more set and brownie-like the pieces will be.
