There is just something about Apple Cinnamon Crockpot Oatmeal (Slow Cooker Oatmeal). Do you know what I mean? The end result is just fluffier, creamier and more moreish than expected. So when I need a break from my other 3 breakfast loves aka muffins, pancakes and rice (Instant Pot Rice — the total opposite of slow cooker), I automatically turn to Crockpot Oatmeal.
Which works out well as mini chefs are oat monsters. They think nothing of snacking on 2 handfuls of uncooked oats each before sitting down to a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge bowl of this Apple Cinnamon Slow Cooker Oatmeal topped with lots of apples and seeds. Seriously.
How To Make Apple Cinnamon Slow Cooker Oatmeal
This Crockpot Oatmeal is the easiest recipe you can make.
- Chop apples, measure out almond milk, maple syrup, cinnamon and ginger.
- Throw everything into the slow cooker, put on high, cover and leave it all for 2hrs.
That is it.
We do all this then go out to look for bear, fox and chicken up in the trees (from the wonderful children’s book the chicken thief) and everything else too. We get back to a kitchen smelling like baked apples and perfectly cooked slow cooker oats. Then we sit down and tuck right in.

29/09/2014 at 5:13 pmYou describe these wonderfully, I need to fly out and get a slow cooker now! They do sound delicious. Can you use cow’s milk in this or does it not slow cook as well? GG
Bintu says
01/10/2014 at 10:39 amI have made these with both cows and almond milk. It just depends on what I am in the mood for.

India says
30/09/2014 at 11:23 amI am so envious of your kids! Sounds like such a perfect morning, especially now it’s getting to autumn and the woods will be full of gorgeous leaves. Slow cooker oats sound lovely, and a lot less hassle if you have the time spare 🙂

Choclette says
01/10/2014 at 10:16 amLove this idea Bintu and not one I’d ever thought of. I grew up on porridge cooked overnight in the aga and it’s the best ever. Now I might be able to recreate something similar.
Bintu says
01/10/2014 at 10:35 amAnd I am sure you can add some chocolate to yours too.
