Overnight Apple-Cinnamon Oatmeal image

A super-simple way to get a hearty breakfast on the table without any work! This recipe was inspired by an overnight maple and brown sugar oatmeal on MelsKitchenCafe.com (http://www.melskitchencafe.com). Make sure to use steel-cut oats, otherwise you'll end up with a pot of gummy paste.

Time 7h5m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 cups apple cider (add 1-2 cups of water if you like thin oatmeal)
2 cups steel cut oats
2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar (up to 1/4 cup, depending on preferred sweetness )
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Coat the inside of a 4-5 quart slow cooker with cooking spray.
  • Combine all the ingredients in the slow cooker and stir. I find it helpful to mix the brown sugar with the cinnamon; the cinnamon gets better incorporated and doesn't separate from the mix as much.
  • Cook for 7-8 hours on low.
  • Stir thoroughly before serving with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon.
  • Serve immediately.
  • Refrigerate leftovers; reheat with a splash of milk.
  • *This recipe is easily cut in half for smaller slow-cookers. A time of 4 hours is optimal.
