Apple Pie Slow Cooker Oatmeal

Saturdays and Sundays my boys rise before the sun. Monday through Friday I’m having to pull them out of bed to get ready for school.

Days off – get up early.

School days – sleep in.

Does anyone else see that there is something seriously wrong here?

5 SECRETS TO GETTING DINNER ON THE TABLE...FAST!

I think they are secretly plotting against me. I keep telling them that mommy needs her beauty sleep but…well, let’s just say they’re not being cooperative.

Why Slow Cooker Oatmeal ROCKS

This is why I am in LOVE with this slow cooker breakfast. I throw everything into the slow cooker just before heading to bed and wake up to the most glorious, delicious, satisfying breakfast on the planet: Overnight Apple Pie Slow CookerOatmeal.

Now, we are big fans of our slow cooker. We make dinner in it at least once a week and breakfast just as frequently – if not more.

Slow Cooker Oatmeal Ingredients

Not a whole lot goes into this oatmeal recipe:

It’s really super easy – just make sure to use the steel-cut oats!

The first morning I made this oatmeal, the boys were still in bed (a school day, obvi) and Chris was heading to work. I had already packed him up a bowl of this goodness and the aroma was just amazing. (Note: be the first one in the kitchen in the morning so that you can experience the sweet and spicy aroma that wafts up as you remove the lid to the slow cooker….heavenly!)

Chris had checked in on each of the boys to give them a kiss goodbye before leaving and apparently that, and the combination of the apple pie fragrance was enough to get Reece out of bed. He walks out saying “Mommy, what is that smell? It smells soooo good!”

Breakfast my son, breakfast.

He gobbled this up like a champ.

I personally thing that oatmeal doesn’t need any sweetener, buuut, my boys insist on a drizzle of honey or a spoonful of brown sugar. Keeps them sweet, I say 🙂

I love to top this oatmeal with some fresh apple slices and dried cranberries and a sprinkling of cinnamon – so good and I love that it keeps me full until lunch.

The perfect breakfast really!
