Slow-Cooker Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal

Published on September 17, 2017 by Stephanie Kay

Let your kitchen do the cooking with this super simple slow cooker apple cinnamon oatmeal and indulge in a warm and healthy breakfast to start your day.

Slow-Cooker Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal

One of the biggest complaints I hear from people when they are trying to help make healthy changes to their diet is that they don’t have time. Either they are too busy to cook, can’t seem together organized, or just find themselves scrambling at the last minute, people are always looking for ways to make healthy eating more efficient and less time-consuming. One of the primary goals of my work is to actually show people that eating well does not need to be complicated, and there are lots of easy ways to ensure you are eating real food that works for real life and this apple cinnamon oatmeal just happens to be one of them.

I’ve shared lots of healthy portable breakfast ideas on the blog, like my Carrot Cake Breakfast Cookies or Spinach Breakfast Casserole, so this slow-cooker apple cinnamon oatmeal is just another easy breakfast idea that you can add to the list. As the seasons change, the temperature drops, and the nights get shorter, there is nothing like a warm breakfast on a cold and dark morning. So let your slow cooker do the cooking, and wake up to the warming scent of cinnamon with my slow-cooker apple cinnamon oatmeal for a healthy ready-made breakfast.

      Can this recipe be made with rolled oats as well?

        You could, but be sure to use whole rolled oats/old fashion oats, not quick cooking or instant. You would likely also reduce the cooking time to 4 hours or so. I haven’t tried with this recipe, but I think it should work!

        Hi Nancy!

        I actually don’t share the nutritional values of my recipes on purpose, I simply focusing on ensuring they are made of whole foods. You are can actually read about my logic and philosophy here: https://kaynutrition.com/2017/05/is-calorie-counting-necessary/ and here https://kaynutrition.com/2018/10/why-a-calorie-is-not-a-calorie/

        Thanks!
