Overnight Oatmeal - Cinnamon Apple

Overnight Oatmeal - Cinnamon Apple

Ingredients

• 1 cup steel cut oats
• 1½ cups coconut milk
• 1½ cups water
• 2 apples (cored, peeled, diced)
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon sea salt

Optional for Topping

• Additional cinnamon or brown sugar
• Chopped nuts such as almonds, walnuts, pecans, etc.
• Fruit such as banana slices, fresh apple, or berries

Instructions

1. Spray the inside of your slow cooker with oil thoroughly. This step is very important!
2. Add all ingredients to the slow cooker – oats, coconut milk, water, apples, brown sugar, coconut oil, cinnamon, and sea salt. Stir to combine well.
3. Cook on low for 5-7 hours depending on your cooker. Some take longer and some are faster. We recommend trying a test run during the day to see how long your slow cooker takes before trying overnight.
4. Serve and allow to cool. If desired, add toppings of your choice.

Notes
Serves 6-8
Be sure to use STEEL CUT OATS. These are heartier and take longer to cook so they are better for slow cooking.
Experiment with different flavors and fruits.

How do you protect your RV over winter?

Monsoon season has started early this year so how do you protect your rv over winter.

1. Cover your unit with a breathable cover not a plastic tarp, the tarp traps moisture in the unit.
2. Use a chemical or mechanical moisture remover an electric heater will work as well make sure it has a thermostat. 
3. Leave your cabinet doors and your refrigerator open to prevent mildew. 
4. Blow out your water lines with compressed air or use RV antifreeze through your water system.

If your not sure how to do the anti-freeze use your owners manual or check out our web site in the video section on how to winterize your uint,or better still come on down and ours parts staff will help with you winterizing needs and even buy you a cup of coffee.

Happy Trails!
