heres one from an old thread; I use the following recipe all the time. This is from Joan Bishop Crockpot book.

11/4 cups rolled oats, 3 cups water,1/4 teasp salt. Put all ingredients in a bowl and put into crockpot on a trivet or upturned saucer. Put lid on pot and cook on low overnight. Stir well befor serving.
Somtimes I add any of the following: sultanas or chopped dates and nuts. Chopped apple and 1/2 teasp cinnamon

and another one; We always cook ours this way. It cooks wholegrain oats properly.
(I wouldn't bother with it for rolled oats),

I use 1 cup of wholegrain oats to 2 1/2 cups of water and a pinch of salt. Sometimes I add a couple of Tbsp ground almonds in place of same measure of oats, or some sultanas.
I cook my oats in a covered pyrex dish up on a trivet inside the slowcooker - filled to halfway up the pyrex dish with water. Slow setting switched on just before bed and switched off as soon as we get up (and up to an hour before we eat) makes it perfect!
