Overnight Oatmeal

This recipe is great... I love to wake up to some warm, comforting oatmeal ready for breakfast! Plus, its so easy... just dump everything in the crock pot. I'll probably do this for Easter morning... start the day off right before we head to church. 

Slow-Cooker Oatmeal

1 cup steel cut oats (not instant)

4 cups water

1 pinch salt

1/2 cup half-and-half or milk (soy milk works well too)

Dried fruits or nuts (optional)

Cinnamon (optional)

1/4 cup brown sugar, or to taste

In a slow cooker, combine all ingredients and set to low heat. Cover and let cook for 8 to 9 hours (low setting).

Stir and remove to serving bowls. This method works best if started before you go to bed. This way your oatmeal will be finished by morning.

Happy Easter!
