Slow Cooker Oatmeal is perfect for people who want to wake up to a hot breakfast.  It’s easy to prepare and you can even reheat leftovers. You can also use this great cream of rice package as an alternative to porridge oats, it’s actually healthier and more delicious.

Oatmeal warms the soul and clears the cholesterol but, quick oats are not as healthy and kinda of a mushy blah in my book.  I love steel cut oats, but who has time to cook them before going to work? Oatmeal is considered as one of the most nutritious breakfast options, learn the 9 Health Benefits Of Eating Porridge Oats And Oatmeal.

Slow Cooker Oatmeal

Well, I’ve solved that little time problem with my slow cooker.  I use my Instant Pot and set it to slow cook on low for 6 hours before I go to bed.  When I wake up, VOILA, hot creamy steel cut oatmeal.   If you don’t want to make several servings of oatmeal, invest in a Little Dipper.    For around 10 bucks you can buy one of these on Amazon.   It is a 16-ounce slow cooker and perfect for 1-2 servings of hot oatmeal.
