What you need:

  • 1 cup steel-cut oats
  • 1 cup skim milk (or milk substitute, such as almond or soy milk)
  • 3 cups water
  • 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup chopped nuts

What to do:

  1. Place oats, milk, water, applesauce, and cinnamon into a slow cooker. Stir, cover, and set to low.
