Fav Overnight Oatmeal (crockpot)
This is my FAV healthy fall breakfast that you would never guess if good for you bc it tastes so good… even my kids will eat it!! Hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
- 2 apples; peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2” pieces
- 1.5 cups non-dairy milk
- 1.5 cups water
- 1 cup uncooked gluten free steel cut oats
- 2 tbsp Agave or maple syrup
- 1 tbsp coconut oil or ghee
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tbsp ground flaxseed
- 1/4 tsp salt
Mix it all in the slow cooker and cook for 7hrs on low. Serve topped with whatever you want- I like chopped pecans and an extra dribble of maple syrup, but you can use any nut you like, raisins, or even dried cranberries 😉

Overnight oatmeal has gained immense popularity for its convenience and health benefits. This dish not only saves time during busy mornings but also offers a balanced meal that includes fiber from oats and fruits, making it ideal for maintaining energy levels throughout the day. With endless variations available, you can customize your overnight oats by incorporating seasonal fruits and different nut toppings to suit your palate. Consider adding berries for an antioxidant boost or pumpkin puree for a festive autumn flavor. The use of gluten-free steel cut oats in this recipe provides a hearty texture and ensures that it is suitable for gluten-sensitive individuals. To make this breakfast even more enriching, feel free to experiment with dairy-free milk options, each contributing its unique flavor. Almond milk, for example, offers a nutty taste, while coconut milk can introduce a tropical twist, further enhancing the health benefits of your morning routine. Remember, the key to making a great overnight oatmeal is the slow cooking process that enhances the flavors and allows the oats to absorb the liquid perfectly. This ensures a creamy, satisfying dish that is not only delicious but also nutritious, keeping you full and fueled for whatever the day brings.
