Slow cooker/pressure cooker pumpkin steel cut oats simply filling or 5pp

Some days are just busy enough that I need something quick for breakfast. I tweaked the original recipe from here.

I have to tell you that all slow cookers are different and when I read this recipe I knew that I couldn't leave mine on low for 8 hours with steel cut oats in it. It would be over cooked. So I put mine in the slow cooker after dinner and they took barely 5 hours and came out amazing. I also had a hard time finding a bowl that would hold this much and fit in my slow cooker so I improvised. I took a bowl that would fit in but not all the way in so I filled my crockpot with water to the bottom of the filled bowl. Worked great, didn't stick and came out perfect.Make sure it's a heat proof bowl!!

The smaller bowl is just what I put some in to warm up for breakfast tomorrow :) I did put 1 tsp of real maple syrup which is 0pp.

Slow cooker pumpkin steel cut oats

1 cup steel cut oats

2 cups of water
1 cup of skim milk (you could use all water but I like it a bit creamy)
1 cup of canned pumpkin
1 tsp of vanilla
2 Tbsp splenda brown sugar blend I didn't find it sweet enough and added 2 Tbsp of sf pancake syrup
2 tsp pumpkin pie mix

In a heat proof bowl that will fit in your slow cooker put all the ingredients in. I  sprayed with non stick first.
Put into the slow cooker and carefully fill slow cooker with water to 1/2 way up the side of the bowl.
Cook on low for 5 hours. Or until cooked.

Makes 4 servings of 1 heaping cup

This is simply filling since the brown sugar blend dived by 4 would be 0.
The original recipe using all water and regular brown sugar is 2pp. Which if you use the splenda brown sugar blend and skim milk should still be 0pp. Or for points plus 5pp per 1 cup cooked.

Update: I made 1/2 this recipe and put it in my electric pressure cooker for 8 minutes then natural release.



Ham and egg cups


Another breakfast favorite! Simply Filling plus the cheese unless you use fat free or 5pp depending on your ingredients.

Ultra lean ham put into muffin cups. Today I filled them with 1 egg and 1 egg white, green onion and light cheese 2pp for the light cheese the rest is Simply Filling.

I put them in my toaster oven at 350 for 20 minutes.

I put different things in these every time I make them :) I love putting leftover broccoli in them.

Cornmeal or cream of wheat waffles

I love when a kitchen mistake turns out great! This was supposed to be cream of wheat but I was half asleep so I used cornmeal by accident and they still turned out great :)

Cornmeal or Cream of Wheat Waffles 100% simply filling makes 8 small waffles or 4 large ones. 2 small waffles or 1 large one would be 4pp my machine made large ones.

1 cup of cream of wheat uncooked or cornmeal
1 egg
3/4c skim milk plus 2 tbsp (don't add the extra 2 tbsp if using cornmeal)
1.5 tsp baking powder
1/2c splenda baking blend

Mix together let sit 10 minutes.
Heat your waffle iron, spray well with non stick spray or a light coating of oil
Use a heaping 1/4c per waffle.
Cook until crispy and brown.

1 cup of chopped onion
2 cloves of garlic
saute for 5-10 or until onion is translucent

Baked custard

I've tried a couple of recipes for baked custard and this is the one I'm using right now.

Baked custard 100% simply filling or 2 pts if I make 4
I haven't tried using egg substitute which would make them even less points

2eggs
1/4c splenda
pinch of salt
1 tsp vanilla
1/4c instant skim milk powder
1 1/2c skim milk scalded (hot but not boiling)
nutmeg to sprinkle on top

I mixed the eggs, splenda, salt, vanilla in a small bowl. Then I put the skim milk in a saucepan and put it on medium heat until between warm and hot, but not boiling. When warm enough I added the instant milk powder. Take off of the heat. Whisk while very slowly adding the egg mixture. Pour into 4 medium sized oven proof bowls. Put bowls in a pan that has high sides. Pour very hot water into the pan until it's 2/3 of the way up the side of the bowls. Carefully put into a 350 preheated oven. I used my toaster oven. 20 minutes or until set and if you put a sharp knife in the middle it will come out clean.
Before I put them in the oven.
Cooked.
