Crock Pot Peaches and Cream Oatmeal made with steel cut oats, cinnamon, and brown sugar is an irresistible flavor combination. It cook up effortlessly in the crock pot and is a great way to turn summer peaches into a warm and comforting breakfast.
Peaches and Cream Oatmeal Recipe
I don’t eat much oatmeal during the summer months, but during the fall and winter, it is perhaps my favorite breakfast. As we approach the fall months, Peaches and Cream Oatmeal is the perfect way to transition from enjoying cool and juicy fresh summer fruit to warm and comforting foods.
Since steel-cut oats take a long time to cook, the slow cooker is perfect for cooking them. You can put them in and forget about them for hours, especially if you have a programmable crock pot. I use the Hamilton Beach Set ‘n Forget Programmable Slow Cooker which I purchased about a year ago after my beloved, decades-old crock pot developed a crack.
Just mix all the ingredients together and let the crock pot do its thing. Drizzle a little cream on before serving to make it super creamy and rich or eat it as is from the crock pot. Also tastes great with some toasted walnuts, pecans, or almonds on top.
How Long To Cook Steel Cut Oats in Slow Cooker
How long you slow cook your oats depends on if you like your oats a little chewy or very soft. For chewy oats either slow cook on LOW for 4 hours and then serve or you can Slow Cook on LOW for 2 hours and then keep them on WARM for 6 hours. This is the best way to cook them if you want to cook them overnight. Add an hour or two onto the slow cooking time if you want them softer.
How To Store
Leftovers reheat well. Just add a little more milk to thin it out some. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4 to 5 days.
