Coconut Cranberry Overnight Oatmeal is a delightful crockpot breakfast recipe. This one includes fresh cranberries coconut and walnuts. Sweeten the steel-cut oats with brown sugar, Maple Syrup or Monk Fruit Sweetener--whatever you prefer. If you have a programmable slow cooker this is a great recipe for it. Fix it and forget about it!

Equipment

  • 1 crockpot a programmable crockpot is preferred
  • 1 wooden spoon
  • measuring cups
  • measuring spoons
  • 1 colander

Ingredients
  

  • 24 oz. steel-cut oats (I use Bob's Red Mill)
  • 80 oz. coconut milk not coconut/almond blend
  • 1 tsp. sea salt
  • 1 tbsp. vanilla extract
  • 2 cups chopped walnuts
  • 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut (can use 1/2 cup or skip entirely)
  • 3 cups fresh cranberries washed

Instructions
 

  • Spray a large 6 or 7-quart crockpot very generously with cooking spray.
  • Combine all ingredients and spread into crock pot.
  • Cook on low overnight for approximately 6 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:  You can sprinkle the tops of each serving with brown sugar or pour maple syrup, if desired. I prefer adding Monk Fruit Sweetener.
 
NOTE: The key to this recipe is not overcooking the oatmeal so it sticks onto the sides of the crockpot.
 
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 recommend one cup of coconut, but you can get by with ½ cup. If you don’t enjoy coconut at all, then skip it in this recipe.
