Apple Spice Crock Pot Overnight Oatmeal Recipe

Here is another crock pot recipe I have been making quite often recently.  It is something I can quickly mix up in the evening then it cooks overnight and is ready when I get up in the morning.  Perfect for busy days--which are most days.



Apple Spice Crock Pot Overnight Oatmeal Recipe

6 cups water or milk
2 cups steel cut oats
2 cups applesauce
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
½ cup coconut oil (optional)

Spray inside of crock pot with cooking oil spray, add all ingredients, stir, cook on low 8 hours (overnight). 

Note: need ~8 cups total liquid.  I had more than 2 cups applesauce and was trying to use up the rest of the jar so ended up with 2 ½ to 3 cups applesauce, but made it to 8 cups total liquid.  I like it better with more applesauce so now I usually make it with 3 cups applesauce and 5 cups water.  I also used mashed ripe bananas in place of applesauce once and that was pretty good.

Note 2: this is actually a double batch, so feel free to halve it if wanting to try with a smaller amount. :)
