Cinnamon and Apple Slow Cooker Oatmeal Recipe

This past weekend I was lucky enough to spend a night away with my girlfriends at a cottage.  We had a great time!  There were 10 of us and so we divided up the meals and snacks to share the cost and prep work.  On Sunday morning we enjoyed this delicious Cinnamon and Apple Slow Cooker Oatmeal - best oatmeal recipe I have ever had!  You can put this on the night before and wake up to a delicious, hot and healthy breakfast.  This recipe will be well used in my house this winter!  And thanks to my wonderful friend for the recipe.

What You Need:

-2 apples peeled and cored cut into small pieces (about 3 cups)
-1 1/2 cups milk
-1 1/2 cups water
-1 cup uncooked steel cut oats
-2 tbsp brown sugar
-1 1/2 tbsp butter cut into 6 small pieces
-1/2 tsp cinnamon

What You Do:

Coat the inside of the slow cooker with cooking spray (this is a crucial step or it will stick to the sides).
Add all ingredients, stir and cover and cook on low for about 7 hours.  This recipe makes 7 servings (3/4 cup is one serving).

At the cottage, our chef has extra optional toppings for us to choose from such as blueberries, chopped pecans, raisins and a bit more brown sugar to sprinkle on top.  Really, the add on options are endless so add whatever toppings you'd like.

The leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in the microwave (just add some milk or water to it).

So simple and now you have a healthy breakfast all week that can be made in just one night and for anyone following weight watchers, its just 4 points!
