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.

SPICED IRISH OATMEAL WITH CREAM AND CRUNCHY SUGAR

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 2-quart shallow gratin or baking dish.
• Cut 2 tablespoons butter into small cubes, and put them in the refrigerator until needed.
• In a large skillet, melt remaining 4 tablespoons butter. Add the oats and sauté until they smell nutty and toasted, 2 to 4 minutes. Stir in the cardamom and cinnamon, and sauté for another minute, until fragrant. Scrape oats into the buttered baking pan and stir in the boiling water, cream and salt.
• Bake oats for 40 minutes, then give them a stir. Sprinkle sugar all over the oats, and scatter reserved cubed butter on top. Continue to bake for 15 to 20 minutes longer, until the top is glazed and bubbling.
• Sprinkle oatmeal with flaky sea salt, if you like. Serve oats with more cream and sugar on the side.

IRISH OATMEAL BISCUITS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together flour and oatmeal. Add butter and sugar; using your hands mix until it comes together and forms a dough. Form dough into a disk and cover with plastic wrap; transfer to refrigerator until chilled, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Line two baking sheets with nonstick baking mats or parchment paper. Roll out dough on a floured work surface to 1/8-inch thick. Using a 1 3/4-inch round cutter, cut out biscuits; transfer to prepared baking sheets, spacing 1 inch apart. Continue rerolling scraps and cutting out biscuits. Transfer baking sheets to refrigerator; let biscuits chill 20 to 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Transfer baking sheets to oven and bake until lightly browned, 12 to 14 minutes. Let cool slightly on baking sheets before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
