Serves: 9

Simply stir the ingredients together before bed time and wake up to a comforting bowl of creamy, filling oats.

Ingredients

	8 cup(s) water
	2 cup(s) Hodgson Mill Steel cut oats, or other brand
	2/3 cup(s) dried cranberries, chopped
	1/2 cup(s) maple syrup
	1 tsp ground cinnamon
	1/2 tsp table salt
	3 Tbsp slivered almonds, toasted

Instructions

• Combine all ingredients, except almonds, in a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker. Cook on low power for 4 to 6 hours, depending on desired creaminess. Stir well to combine and then sprinkle with almonds. Yields about 3/4 cup oatmeal and 1 teaspoon almonds per serving.

Notes

• Be sure to use steel-cut oats for this recipe as regular oatmeal will not hold up to this length of cooking. If you like your oatmeal very creamy, you can cook it up to 8 hours.
