How to Make Overnight Fruit And Nut Oatmeal For The Crock Pot

Combine 1 cup rolled oats, 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy), 1/2 cup water, 1/4 cup chopped dried fruit (cranberries, raisins, apricots - your choice!), 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt in a small crock-pot.
Cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, or overnight on the lowest setting (depending on your crock-pot).
Once cooked, let the oatmeal sit in the crock-pot for at least 30 minutes to allow it to thicken further. This step is crucial for the best texture.
Stir in 1/4 cup chopped pecans (or other nuts) before serving if desired.
Serve warm or cold. If serving warm, gently reheat individual portions in the microwave. Add extra milk or cream to adjust consistency. Top with fresh fruit, honey, maple syrup, or your favorite sweetener as desired.
