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.

Magic Reindeer Food

Magic Reindeer Food

Help Santa & his Reindeer find your home on Christmas Eve and have fun with the kids at the same time!

Sprinkle the mix of oats and edible glitter in the yard, it will glimmer in the moonlight and light the way for Santa's sleigh and the reindeer will have something to snack on while Santa is visiting your home.

INGREDIENTS:

• 1/2 cup oats
• 1 tsp edible red glitter (make sure this is edible glitter as the craft glitter is harmful to wildlife and the reindeer!)

DIRECTIONS:

1. Mix the oats and glitter in a bowl
2. Spoon into a sealable bag or container (enough for each child)
3. Sprinkle on the lawn, porch or driveway
4. Hurry and get to sleep so Santa can make his way to your house and the reindeer can snack on your reindeer food!
