Equipment

  • 1 large crock pot
  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • 1 wooden spoon
  • measuring cups
  • measuring spoons
  • 1 nut chopper if nuts are not previously chopped

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 light brown sugar packed
  • 3 cups water
  • 1 tsp. sea salt
  • 1 tbsp. vanilla extract
  • 2 cups walnuts chopped (measure after chopping)
  • 2 rounded cups fresh blueberries washed (about 1 1/4 dry pints)
  • 1/2 cup walnuts chopped, (sprinkled over top of individual servings, if desired) measure after chopping
  • 1 cup 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.
 
NOTE: If you want the recipe sugarless, omit the brown sugar in the recipe. Use Stevia Extract or Monk Fruit sugar on individual servings, as desired. (This will also reduce the calories considerably).
