Apple Cinnamon Steel-Cut Oatmeal — Crock Pot/Slow Cooker Recipe
Steel-cut oats can be made on the stove in about 30-40 minutes; however, that doesn’t always turn out well for us! They are so easy to make in the slow cooker. They are great for breakfast and even a light dinner! Steel-cut oats are a great source of vitamins, protein, fiber and more. They take longer to cook than rolled oats, but many people prefer their sweet, nutty taste.
Ingredients:
- 2 apples, peeled or unpeeled, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1-1/2 cups milk (options: low-fat milk or almond milk)
- 1-1/2 cups water
- 1 cup uncooked steel-cut oats
- 1-2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Optional garnishes: chopped nuts, raisins, additional milk or cream
Serves: 4-6
Do this:
Coat inside of slow cooker with cooking spray.
Add all ingredients (except optional toppings) to slow cooker.
Stir, cover, and cook on low for 5-6 hours (slow cooker times can vary).
Extras:
Spoon oatmeal into bowls; add optional toppings, if desired.
Simple and healthy! Don’t over sweeten. Steel-cut oats are good with minimal sugar — they don’t need to be sweet like a dessert.
Feeding your family a warm healthy breakfast doesn’t have to keep you in the kitchen all morning! You can make this while you sleep (using a slow cooker with a timer or make it when you won’t be sleeping more than 5-6 hours).
Also, it makes a great light and healthy dinner and is a very inexpensive meal – Enjoy!
