Ingredients for Slow Cooker Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal

This slow cooker oatmeal is great for using up oats in your pantry and any fruit you may have on hand. I love the simplicity of just adding apples, raisins, and cinnamon, but feel free to try out other flavors and mix-ins! I have a few ideas listed below. Note: all measurements can be found in the recipe card below.

Steel-Cut Oats: Make sure that you buy steel-cut oats instead of old-fashioned or rolled oats. Your slow cooker oatmeal will turn out mushy if you don’t use steel-cut oats.Cooking Liquid: Water, milk, or nut milk work great here! I used both almond milk and water. This is a great recipe to make if you’re wanting a dairy-free breakfast!Cinnamon: I love adding cinnamon to oatmeal because of the warm, comforting flavor it gives it. Plus, apples and cinnamon is a classic (and delicious) flavor combo!Chopped Apples: Use your favorite type! I always go for sweet apples like fuji or Honeycrisp. If you want more tart apple flavor, try using Granny Smith apples instead!Sweetener: You can use whatever sweetener you’d like here! Add brown sugar, honey, maple syrup, granulated sugar, stevia, etc., until you’ve reached your desired flavor.

How to Make Cinnamon Apple Oatmeal Overnight

Breakfast recipes as easy as this slow cooker oatmeal are hard to find! All you have to do is throw all of the ingredients in your crock pot and let it do its thing! You’re going to love having it to wake up to. It takes some of the chaos out of busy mornings with the kids!

Add Nuts: Not only do chopped nuts add tasty flavor to the oatmeal, but great texture, too! They balance out the creaminess of the oats perfectly. Chopped pecans, walnuts, and slivered almonds are all great additions.Add Protein: Looking to add a boost of protein to your oatmeal? Add a scoop of your favorite protein powder! I always use vanilla protein powder to add sweet flavor and creaminess.Toppings: Sometimes a drizzle of honey or maple syrup is all you need, but if you want to make your breakfast extra decadent, try a little caramel syrup on top!Spices: Spiced breakfasts are perfect for fall! Try adding apple pie spice or even pumpkin spice to your oatmeal for an extra pop of flavor.

In the Refrigerator: Store leftover oatmeal in an airtight container for up to 1 week.In the Freezer: Store oatmeal in a freezer bag for 2-3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.Reheating: I add a little bit of milk to leftover oatmeal because it helps to make it nice and creamy again. From there, pop it in the microwave for 30-second intervals or until warm and smooth.
