HEALTHY SLOW COOKER OATMEAL

Dec.posted by Paula 8 Comments

Healthy Slow Cooker Oatmeal, this steel cut oats crockpot recipe cooks up creamy while still maintaining some texture. It’s an easy overnight recipe!

Use your slow cooker and have a warm breakfast ready to eat in the morning.

HEALTHY SLOW COOKER OATMEAL

Make-ahead breakfasts are essential for busy mornings. If they’re delicious and healthy, that’s a bonus!

These slow cooker steel cut oats are just the thing on one of those mornings. Not only do they taste good, but eating a healthy breakfast gets your day off to a great start.

This is a great recipe for the whole family and it makes a lot. It also reheats really well so if you don’t have a slow cooker with a timer you can make it the night or day before and reheat them in the microwave before servings them.

For best results when reheating, I found they are pretty thick but adding a little more almond milk makes them creamy again.

Something magical happens to oats in the slow cooker.

  1. I do recommend that you stir it a couple of times during the cooking process so that the oats don’t stick to the bottom.
  2. As well, this recipe works best at a low-temperature setting and if your slow cooker runs extra hot, you may want to cook it on the ‘warm’ setting.

VARIATIONS

I like to make the oats with this basic recipe, then spruce them up once plated.

  • Cinnamon
  • Apple sauce
  • fresh fruit – try peaches and cream or strawberries and cream
  • Dried fruit
  • Nuts
  • Chocolate chips
  • Peanut Butter

Please keep in mind that nutritional information is a rough estimate and can vary based on the products used.

I updated this post from an earlier version on December 18, 2012. I made new photos and simplified the recipe instructions.

Stove top method:
