Slow Cooker Steel Cut Oatmeal

Method

  1. 1

    Coat inside of 3-1/2 quart (or larger) slow cooker with cooking spray or use a non-stick insert in your slow cooker.

  2. 2

    Peel, core and dice the apples. Put into the slow cooker.

  3. 3

    Add remaining ingredients to slow cooker. Stir, cover, and cook on low for approx. 5-7 hours (slow cooker times can vary-I always check it at 5 hours and give it a stir to see if it is the texture I like} or high for 4 hours.

  4. 4

    Spoon oatmeal into bowls; add optional toppings, such as almonds, nut butter, seeds or fresh fruit and a drizzle of honey.

Notes

If you have leftovers store them in the fridge in an airtight container. When you want to heat some oatmeal up put your desired amount in a microwave safe bowl and heat it up. It should last up to a week in the fridge. If you want to freeze the oatmeal, you can portion it out. I like to do a measuring cup and put them in a freezer bags. Once you are ready to eat it let it thaw overnight and then heat as you would above. It can last in the freezer up to 3 months. Toppings ideas: Honey, Nut butter, Nuts, Fresh apples, Another sprinkle of cinnamon
