Best 7 Overnight Irish Oatmeal Recipes

EASY IRISH OATMEAL

Steps:

• In a large, heavy saucepan with a tight fitting lid, bring the water to a boil. Add the salt and stir in the oatmeal. Reduce heat to medium and cook for one minute, stirring occasionally. Turn the heat off the pot and place the lid tightly on the pot. Let the oatmeal rest for an hour. Check for doneness, if it needs more time, let it rest an additional half hour.
• Transfer the oatmeal to a storage container and refrigerate.
• When you're ready for a bowl of oatmeal, spoon into a microwave safe bowl and nuke for 1-1 1/2 minutes until hot. Dress your oats with any of the combinations mentioned above or as you like it!

SLOW-COOKER IRISH OATS

Steps:

• Place the frozen peaches, oats, brown sugar, vanilla, salt and 8 cups water in the bowl of a slow cooker. Stir, set to low and cook for 6 to 8 hours or up to overnight.
• Meanwhile, toast the sliced almonds and flaked coconut separately in dry nonstick skillets over medium heat, shaking the pans frequently to ensure an even toast, until golden and fragrant, 3 to 4 minutes. Let cool. Store, covered, until serving.
• To serve, stir the raisins, milk and cream into the oat mixture. Spoon into bowls and garnish with the almonds, coconut, blueberries and a drizzle of honey.

OVERNIGHT IRISH OATMEAL

Steps:

• Pour uncooked oats into a small saucepan and cover with cold water. Leave covered overnight to soak.
• In the morning, place the saucepan over low heat and cook the oatmeal, uncovered, for 7 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Serve hot, topped with fresh berries, brown sugar and a splash of skim milk.

OVERNIGHT OATMEAL

Steps:

• In a bowl, mix together the oats, milk, half-and-half, raisins, brown sugar, vanilla, salt and apple. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
• Preheat the broiler.
• Give the mixture a stir and add a bit more milk or half-and-half if it has become too thick. Put a healthy portion in an ovenproof bowl and smooth out the top. Sprinkle with an even layer of granulated sugar. Place under the broiler until the sugar melts and just starts to brown (or you can brown it lightly with a kitchen blowtorch). Serve with blueberries, raspberries, strawberries and a little more half-and-half, if desired.

SUNDAY MORNING OATMEAL

Steps:

• Heat the milk plus 2 cups of water in a medium saucepan until it starts to simmer. Add the oatmeal and salt, bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened. Off the heat, stir in the banana, cherries, and raisins. Place the lid on the pot and allow to sit for 2 minutes. Serve hot with maple syrup or brown sugar and extra milk.

OVERNIGHT OATMEAL

Steps:

• In a slow cooker, combine all ingredients and set to low heat. Cover and let cook for 8 to 9 hours.
• Stir and remove to serving bowls. This method works best if started before you go to bed. This way your oatmeal will be finished by morning.

NO-COOK OVERNIGHT OATMEAL
