Wake up to Slow Cooker Irish Oatmeal. Throw it all in the crockpot in less than 5 minutes and when you get up the morning drizzle on a little maple syrup.
dairy-free milk for drizzling in the morning, optional
apple chunks for adding to the oatmeal in the morning, optional
Instructions
To the slow cooker - add the oatmeal, water and cinnamon.
Stir well and cook on low for 7-8 hours.
If you have a timer on your crock pot and you can set the start time - that would be great. That is in case you want to sleep in and don't want to overcook the oatmeal.
Double the recipe if you like!
Spoon into a bowl and drizzle maple syrup over the top
