Cook Oatmeal in a Slow Cooker

For a special weekend treat, cook oatmeal in a slow cooker all night long and wake up to a fresh, hot and delicious breakfast. It takes only minutes to prepare and is much better for you than the average cold cereal.

Dress up your oatmeal by adding any sort of dried or fresh fruit. Sweeteners like sugar, honey and maple syrup are also good options. Add a dash of cinnamon to the oatmeal for an extra boost of flavor. Add this to my Recipe Box.

Things You'll Need

  • 8 cups water 2 cups steel cut oats 1 1/2 cups of dried fruit, any 1/4 tsp. salt Sweetener to taste

    • 2

      Add the dried fruit to the oatmeal mixture and stir until the fruit is well incorporated.

    • 3

      Turn the slow cooker on to a low heat setting and cook for 8 hours with the lid on.

    • 4

      Add sweetener such as sugar, maple syrup, honey or any fruit syrup to the oatmeal to taste before serving.

Tips & Warnings

  • Add candy pieces or chocolate chunks to the oatmeal for kids.

  • Use only steel cut oats for this recipe, as regular cooking oats will get mushy.
