Overnight Irish Oatmeal Recipes

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.

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.

IRISH OATMEAL MUFFINS

Steps:

• Combine the buttermilk and the oats at least 6 hours (preferably overnight) before mixing and baking the muffins.
• Stir well, cover and let rest in the refrigerator.
• Preheat the oven to 400. Grease the muffin tins.
• Put the eggs in a mixing bowl and beat just till the yolks and whites are blended.
• Add the sugar and beat till smooth and well blended.
• Add the buttermilk-oatmeal mixture.
• Add the flour, baking soda, salt and oil.
• Beat till batter is well mixed.
• Fill the muffin tins 3/4 full of batter. They usually bake about 20 minutes, but start testing for doneness after 15 minutes.
• Either remove the muffins from the tins and cool on racks or serve hot from the pan.

SLOW COOKER OVERNIGHT OATMEAL WITH APPLES, CRANBERRIES, AND WALNUTS

Steps:

• Line a 3 1/2- or 4-quart slow cooker with a disposable slow cooker liner. Place apples, cranberries, oats, brown sugar, butter, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg inside. Pour in milk and water and mix to combine. Cover.
• Cook on Low for 6 to 8 hours. Sprinkle cooked oatmeal with chopped walnuts.

IRISH STEEL CUT OATMEAL

Steps:
