Slow Cooker Oatmeal Recipes

Start the day off right with sweet and creamy slow cooker oats for breakfast. The evaporated milk adds such creaminess that you'll think you're having pudding for breakfast.

What could be better than waking up to the fresh aroma of a hearty morning meal wafting through the house? With the aid of a slow cooker, it’s easy to give the entire family a hot breakfast, regardless of when they drag themselves out of bed.

A filling breakfast for cool mornings.

Raisins add sweetness and you can top with nuts to add protein. My twin toddlers love it!

This version of the classic candy bar is a delicious oatmeal treat with only 260 calories and almost 15 grams of protein per serving!

This one tastes like fall in a bowl! If you don’t have maple extract, just use maple syrup as your sweetener to add that maple flavor. The maple really makes you think of the autumn leaves, the pear adds a little tart and a little sweet, and the walnuts add just the right amount of crunch.

The maple extract and crunchy pecans in this comforting bowl will fool your brain into thinking you’re having a blondie for breakfast. Yum!

Savor the flavors of fall with this decadent oatmeal that practically cooks itself!

Just like a PB&J sandwich, this recipe can always be made with basic pantry staples. I like strawberry jam, but feel free to use grape jelly or even orange marmalade if that’s your favorite. You can even get wacky and use almond or cashew butter in place of the peanut butter.

This tastes like a cake I had almost 20 years ago. The banana and chocolate go perfectly with the flavor of the hazelnuts. This is a really simple oatmeal to throw together before you go to bed. You can toast the nuts the night before or in the morning.

Wake up to a fragrant, healthy breakfast!

If Elvis had been a vegan, this is how he would have started the day. This is a play on his favorite sandwich--a grilled peanut butter, banana and bacon sandwich. It’s creamy, sweet, peanutty, and has a touch of smokiness and salt.

Sweet pears mingle with the fragrances of rosewater and cardamom in this unique and decadent spin on breakfast!

If you don’t have orange flower water, it’s fine to leave it out. It adds a very subtle sweet flavor and aroma. This recipe yields a rich, filling and sweet bowl of oats that will keep you going until lunch!

This is a wonderful make-ahead breakfast food.

a more grainy texture, not like regular oatmeal

This heart healthy and hearty breakfast is a great way to start your family's day!

I found this in BJ's Fall Journal, and it is a great meal to wake up to in the morning, and because I used low-fat butter and lactaid fat-free milk, it's healthy, lactose and guilt free! Keep in mind it takes 8 hours in a slow cooker, so put it together the night before, and be sure to use a reynolds slow cooker liner (this way you don't have to clean up the mess!).

Irish style (steel cut) oats are a great food, but take a long time to cook, so they're difficult for a weekday breakfast. Using the slow cooker overnight solves that problem. Chinese 5-spice powder (a mixture of cinnamon, ginger, two types of anise and cloves) gives it a wonderfully exotic flavor. We make a large batch and freeze it in cellophane wrap lined muffin pans, then bag the individual pucks. Depending on the size of your muffin pans, one or two oatmeal pucks in the microwave for a few minutes makes a quick and tasty breakfast.

This delicious nutrient-packed oatmeal breakfast cooks while you sleep, so you wake to a deliciously healthy whole grain breakfast! Apples & cinnamon, chopped dates and almonds & pecans add flavor and additional nutrition!

Place all ingredients in a 3 quart slow cooker and set on low. Cook at least 6 hrs or overnight, and enjoy!
