"Modified from a recipe in Scholastic magazine that is no longer available. Original recipe was baked in the oven but I combined it with another crock pot recipe with good results. This is more of a technique... feel free to experiment with the ingredients. Nuts cook faster than grains so keep that in mind."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Combine the ingredients in the crock pot set on "high". Mine is the large size so not sure how this would work with a smaller crock. Stir after 30 minutes then keep an eye on it. It is supposed to take 2 hrs but I would watch it closely after the first hour. Once it starts to brown, it can burn quickly!
Step 2
Allow to cool and then add dried fruit if desired.
Step 3
Note: Substitutions are endless... for butter you could use coconut oil. I have already mentioned honey and maple syrup, you could probably try brown sugar. Obviously the ginger could be replaced with cinnamon. Have fun!
