Cooked in a slow cooker (such as a crock-pot), this hearty breakfast is full of apples, raisins and walnuts.

Ingredients:

1 cooking spray

4 cup skim milk

1/4 cup brown sugar, unpacked *

2 Tbsp melted butter

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp cinnamon

2 cup old-fashioned cooking oats **

2 cup chopped apple

1 cup raisins, unpacked

1 cup chopped walnuts

Directions:

Coat the inside of a 3 to 4-quart slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray.

Combine all ingredients in the slow cooker and mix well. Cover and cook on warm or low setting overnight, or 7 to 8 hours. Be careful not to overcook.

When done, stir well and scoop into individual bowls.

Variations:

* For a sweeter oatmeal, add up to 1/2 cup unpacked brown sugar.

** Can replace old-fashioned oats with steel-cut oats (allow for extra calories).
