Easy Healthy Overnight Oatmeal

 This delicious and super easy breakfast is perfect for both busy week day mornings and leisurely weekend ones.  It can be kept in the fridge for a couple of days and reheated with a bit of water or milk.


2 c Steel-cut Oats or Old-fashioned Rolled Oats (not quick cooking!)
2 c Fruit of choice, preferably dried
5 c Water
2 tsp STM Sweet spice
1 tsp STM Vanilla powder
1/2 c 2% Milk
 
Combine everything (if using dried fruit) in your crock-pot or slow cooker shortly before bed.  Turn on Low and go to bed.  When you wake up 8-9 hours later it will be ready!  Add condiments and enjoy!  I like to add a dollop of honey greek yogurt.
  * If you are using fresh fruit you'll want to add it to the oatmeal in the morning shortly before serving or it will get very mushy.   You may also want to sprinkle a little honey or truvia into the uncooked oatmeal to make up for the decreased sweetness from the fruit.
