Crockpot Apple Overnight Creamy Oatmeal for Breakfast

Try this for breakfast eat healthy!Â Â click on the title for the recipe

Oatmeal contains a special strand of fiber called beta-glucan thatÂ manyÂ studies have shownÂ to reduce levels of bad cholesterolâ€”and as high cholesterol is a major risk factor associated with heart disease and strokes.Â Â A daily bowl of oatmeal could be a life saver and cinnamon is another addition to lowering cholesterol so here's a bonus in this recipe! A daily dose of three grams of fiber, the amount found in one bowl of oatmeal, can lower cholesterol by up to 23 percent and reduce the risk of heat disease by almost half. If you have read many of myÂ articles on apples, studies also show eating two raw apples a day could also lower cholesterol, it's number one on the top healthiest foods!

Delicious sounding recipe! But, too much for me, quantity-wise. I do eat oatmeal 3-4 times a week and add walnuts, flax seed and sometimes dried fruit.

I used to hate oatmeal as a child but now I like it! We eat it fairly often

I'm a bit confused about the instructions...on the milk... if you wait until it's cooked to add 1/2 cup of the milk...when do you add the rest?

It calls for 2 cups low-fat 1% milk

Then you say: After it's cooked add 1/2 cup 1% milk

But the instructions say: Pour everything but the milk into a crockpot. Cook on low overnight, up to 6 or 6 1/2 hours, stir in the milk just before serving.

If you pour only the oats, honey, margarine*/oil and the fruit and nuts, what provides enough moisture for it to cook that long?

*I don't use margarine at all.

The extra milk is for the oats in the morning if its too thick in the morning to add too, it will loosen it up if its too thick.. The 2 cups goes in at the beginning.
