Cranberry Pear Overnight Oatmeal

Cranberry Pear Overnight Oatmeal is something special. I created this delicious oatmeal recipe because I was trying to use up an abundance of fresh cranberries after holiday baking. I added pears because I was trying to use them up as well. Along with cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla to flavor the oatmeal, I used brown sugar to sweeten it and oat milk. That kept the recipe gluten free and vegan.

I usually don’t add sugar when I make overnight oatmeal. I figure everyone can add sugar or sweeteners as they desire after it’s cooked. However, with the tartness of cranberries, I thought it would be a good idea to add brown sugar. Actually, this recipe turned out perfectly. We loved it. It was sweet enough without any additional sugar, and the fruit flavors are just what my husband really loves when he eats oatmeal every day.

Just so you know, this recipe is usually done in four hours on LOW! So if you don’t have a programmable slow cooker, consider making this up during the day and then storing in individual serving-size containers in the fridge until you’re ready to eat it. It heats up wonderfully. We have even frozen this stuff before and it thaws and reheats well too.

Cranberry Pear Overnight Oatmeal is a festive and beautiful oatmeal that’s wonderful to grace your breakfast or brunch table for Thanksgiving or Christmas. If you purchase fresh cranberries during the season and freeze them, you can make this up later in the New Year as well.

This recipe takes about 4 hours in the slow cooker. That works great if you have a programmable slow cooker. If you don’t you can make this up during the day time and put it in individual serving size containers and heat up for breakfast throughout the week!

Equipment

  • 1 6 or 7-quart slow cooker
  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • 1 wooden spoon
  • 1 sharp paring knife to peel and dice pears
  • measuring cups
  • measuring spoons

Ingredients
  

  • 24 oz. steel-cut oats (I used Bob’s Red Mill known as pinhead oats or Irish oats)
  • 48 oz. container Califia Farms Oat Milk or almond milk
  • 1 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 4 cups water
  • 1 tbsp. ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
  • 1 tsp. sea salt
  • 1 tbsp. vanilla extract
  • 2 medium Bartlett pears washed, pared, diced (about 4 cups)
  • 2 or 3 cups fresh cranberries washed

Instructions
 

  • Spray a large 6 or 7-quart crockpot very generously with cooking spray.
  • Combine all ingredients in large mixing bowl and spread into crock pot.
  • Cook on low overnight for approximately 4 hours.

Notes

NOTE: You can portion out the servings into microwavable glass or plastic containers. Refrigerate for up to one week and microwave before serving.
 
NOTE: You can also freeze the cooked oatmeal in the same type of containers. Remove from freezer and allow to defrost in refrigerator a day or so before using and microwaving as noted above.
 
NOTE: Overnight oatmeal is something of a misnomer. This recipe was done in about 4 hours in my slowest crockpot.
 
NOTE: The key to this recipe is not overcooking the oatmeal so it sticks onto the sides of the crockpot. Four hours is really all you need.
 
NOTE: This recipe is easiest if you have a slow cooker with a programmable timer. Set the end time for when you want to serve breakfast.
 
NOTE: I was trying to use up cranberries so I probably used closer to 3 cups.
 
NOTE: If you need the recipe to be sugar free, omit the brown sugar and sprinkle Stevia extract or Monk Fruit sugar over top of individual servings as desired.
