Pear Rose Cardamom Oatmeal

This recipe comes from Vegan Slow Cooking for Two or Just for You, which I've had for over a year and had not yet cooked from.

• 1/2 C steel-cut oats
• 2 C unsweetened coconut milk
• 1 small pear, chopped
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp rosewater, food grade
• 1/2 tsp almond extract
• 1/2 tsp ground cardamom
• 1/4 tsp cinnamon
• sweetener to taste (sugar, stevia, etc)

1.  Spray 1 1/2 qt crockpot with cooking spray.  Add all ingredients except sweetener.  Cook on low overnight (7-9 hours).
2.  Stir oatmeal well and add sweetener.

Robyn's notes: this tasted good, but I found the texture extremely unpleasant.  It was just a mush, and fairly slimy.  I sweetened with brown sugar and found myself adding quite a lot of it just to break up the unpleasant feel in my mouth.  

** 2 Stars: Acceptable. At least one of us liked this enough for me to make it again, if I make changes
