Note: This recipe should be started the night before you plan on eating oats for breakfast. It's a great way to start your day with a healthy meal, with all of the prep-work done the night before!

From Around the House

  1. A Crock Pot (large oval works best)
  2. A heat-safe dish 
  3. Measuring Cups
  4. Mixing Spoon or Spatula
  5. Water

Grocery and Pantry List

  1. Steel Cut Oats 
  2. Apples 
  3. Cinnamon
  4. Nutmeg
  5. Local Raw Honey
  6. Fruit (optional)

The Recipe

  1. Wash, core, and dice the apples (You can peel them if you want, but you lose most of the nutritional value if you do). I use one apple per adult serving, they cook down a lot.
  2. Place your heat-safe dish in the center of your crock pot (You can use a glass Pyrex dish, or a stoneware bowl. Anything that won't crack in a hot water bath).
  3. Add the Steel-Cut Oats to the heat-safe dish according to package directions (I make 2 servings, which feeds me, Clinton and Lucas)
  4. Add water to the oats (I use a little less than the directions because I like thicker oats)
  5. Add apples or other fruit (if desired)
  6. Add Cinnamon and Nutmeg to taste (I use about a tablespoon of Cinnamon and a half teaspoon of Nutmeg for 2 servings)
  7. Add Raw Honey (I use one tablespoon per serving of oats)
  8. Stir ingredients
  9. Add one inch of water to the Crock Pot (around the heat-safe dish) 
  10. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or over-night. No need to stir during cooking!
  11. In the morning, stir before serving. Add brown sugar or milk to taste
