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 over top if desired. But you may find the recipe is sweet enough without additional sugar.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: If you prefer a pre-sweetened oatmeal, add ¾ cup packed brown sugar with the other ingredients when cooking.NOTE: You can also use Stevia extract or Monk Fruit sugar if you wish to cut down on calories or keep the recipe sugar free.
