Aunt Lou here.
My favorite cookies are oatmeal raisin. It used to be snickerdoodles (hmmmm…maybe another oats idea!), but for some reason, oatmeal raisin cookies have just become what I absolutely love. So when I was talking over a recipe for overnight oats I found in Gooseberry Patch’s Busy Day Slow Cooking, we talked it out and this Crock Pot Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Overnight Oats recipe was born. Oh. My. Yum.
Crock Pot Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Overnight Oats Notes:
- Now I know some people are not steel cut oats people (psst…I am a recent convert myself!). Trust me…these are goooood! You might want to give them a try just to be sure you can’t be swayed. ๐
- Cris learned a long time ago to use the double-broiler method to get great results when cooking oats overnight…so much so that Mikey made a video to teach you how to use it.
- If you don’t have an heat proof bowl, we recommend using the large bowl from this set.
- Since this was a new recipe and cooking overnight, you know I had to use my dear, reliable Sir Hamilton (my Hamilton Beach Programmable Insulated Slow Cooker). It turned out beautifully!

Only two cups of milk? So much less than other steel cut slow cooker recipes… Iโm nervous!
Hi Lissa!
It worked for me with 2 cups. If you adjust the recipe to your preferences, let me know what you change and how it turns out! I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
Aunt Lou
Ugh I made it last night with only two cups and it must not have been enough – lots of the oats stayed crunchy and totally still in their original form! Also didnโt make enough for the four of us, but my toddler loved the flavor! Think I should add more milk or use water next time?
I’m sorry to hear that Lissa! It sounds like something is different for you, be it how your slow cooker cooks or altitude or??? So, you might want to add in additional milk next time. If you give it a try, let me know what changes you make and how it turns out!
Thank you!!
Nutrition counts?
Hi Karen!
I have added them to this recipe. However, we highly recommend you look at your specific ingredients to calculate the nutrition exactly. The nutrition counts on here may not be the same as the ones for the specific ingredients you use.
Enjoy!

Can you substitute almond milk for the whole milk?
Hi Deb!
I haven’t tried this with anything other than milk, but if you try it with almond milk, let me know how it goes! Enjoy!
Aunt Lou
Going to try it tonight, I will give you an update tomorrow.
Why the bowl? The recipes I’ve seen in the past just has you put the steel cut oats, milk, etc. in the crock. I usually use the liners put out by Reynolds to avoid sticking.
Hi Patricia-
We make all our oatmeal this way to prevent sticking and overcooking. Feel free to the try the recipe with the method that works for you. Enjoy!
I really want to try this. Can you tell me what brand of bowl you used?
Hi Melissa! (Aunt Lou is a bit under the weather today so I thought I’d hop on here and answer). I believe she is using some of her vintage pyrex from the looks of the picture but we always recommend anchor hocking bowls for this purpose. There is a great set on Amazon that we use the largest bowl from when cooking up oatmeal (referral link) http://amzn.to/2aEiK53 . Enjoy!!
The recipe for the Oatmeal Raisin cookie overnight oats does not say if they should be cooked on High or low.
Hi Sharon- Cook it up on low. Enjoy!
Yes please! I have everything on hand and can’t wait to try it!!!!!
Let us know what you think Marsha!
