We love warm oatmeal in the winter, and this recipe fits the bill. You can add whatever you want into it—we love fresh apples.

Ingredients:

• 2 apples, peeled, cored, cut into ½-inch pieces (2-½ to 3 cups chopped)
• 1-½ cups fat-free milk (or substitute non-diary alternative like almond milk)
• 1-½ cups water
• 1 cup uncooked steel-cut oats
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar (or substitute maple syrup or other desired sweetener)
• 1-½ tablespoons butter, cut into 5-6 pieces (optional)
• ½ teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon ground flax seed
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• Optional garnishes: chopped nuts, raisins, maple syrup, additional milk or butter

How To Make:

Coat the inside of 3-½ quart (or larger) slow cooker with cooking spray. Add all ingredients (except optional toppings) to slow cooker.

Stir, cover, and cook on low for about 7 hours.

Spoon oatmeal into bowls; add optional toppings, if desired. Store leftovers in refrigerator. Freezes well.

Prep time: 20 min. Cook time: 7 hours. Serves: 6.
