Sunday is always “special breakfast” day at our house. It’s the only day of the week where I make breakfast for everyone, and we’re all expected to sit down together and eat. Not having a kitchen could have put a crimp in my plans, but I didn’t want it to. I remembered watching an episode of Good Eats where he made oatmeal in a slow cooker. It turned out really good! Everyone liked it, including Matt.
Below you’ll find the recipe as I made it. Next time, I think I’ll add some cinnamon.
Overnight Oatmeal
1 cup steel cut oats
1 cup dried cranberries
1 cup raisins
4 cups water
1/2 cup heavy cream
In a slow cooker, combine all ingredients and turn on to LOW. Cover and let cook for 8 to 9 hours.
Stir and remove to serving bowls.
This made enough for two adults and two kids, with a bit left over.
