Ingredients
  

  • 24 oz. pkg. 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
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar packed
  • 3 cups water
  • 1 tsp. sea salt
  • 1 tbsp. vanilla extract
  • 2 cups chopped walnuts
  • 2 rounded cups fresh blueberries washed (about 1 1/4 dry pints)
  • additional walnuts sprinkled over top of individual servings, if desired
  • additional blueberries sprinkled over top of individual servings, if desired

Instructions
 

  • Spray a large 6 or 7-quart crockpot very generously with cooking spray.
  • Combine first seven ingredients and spread into crock pot.
  • Cook on low overnight for approximately 5 hours.
  • Serve garnished with fresh blueberries and a sprinkle of chopped walnuts, if desired.

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 5 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. Five 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: Oat Milk can be purchased at Walmart and other grocery stores. You will have to go early to Walmart to purchase it because they sell out very quickly.
