Not much is beats breakfast in bed. Treat yourself by tossing some steal cut oat in your slow cooker and wake up to apple cinnamony goodness.
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 8 hours
Total Time 8 hours 5 minutes
Servings 6 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup steel cut oats (Not instant or rolled oats—those cook a lot faster and turn to mush!)
  • 3 1/2 cups milk (Can use any kind, including soy or almond)
  • 1-2 apples, peeled and chopped
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 2 tbs butter
  • 2 tbs brown sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbs cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • Combine all ingredients in the slow cooker, stirring to evenly distribute and help the sugar dissolve.
  • Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours. If your slow cooker runs hot, set it to warm instead.
  • Serve on it's own, or topped with garnishes like raisins, fresh fruit slices, or roasted nuts.

Notes

Don't be afraid to make a big batch! Leftovers freeze well and make great future breakfasts.
