Creamy Breakfast Oatmeal (Rice Cooker)

• 2/3 cup steel cut oats
• 1 2/3 cups milk
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 pinch fine sea salt
• 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
• 1/2 cup chopped dates

1. Place all ingredients, except dates, in cooker; stir gently to combine; sprinkle dates on top.
2. Close the cover, set on Porridge cycle.
3. NOTE1: This recipe is designed for a rice cooker with fuzzy logic - use the porridge setting. If you have a regular rice cooker, you will need to watch it to determine when the oatmeal is done, probably 25 to 30 minutes, depending on your cooker.
4. NOTE2: Steel cut oats vary slightly. With some brands I find I need to reduce the milk to 1 1/2 cup to get the right consistency.
5. NOTE3: You can substitute vanilla flavored soy milk for the milk plus vanilla extract.
