It feels like it has been forever since I have shared with you guys. Big thanks to Aunt Lou for covering for me while my family was on vacation. I have missed you guys! So, I cooked up something SUPER yummy to share.The cooler weather seems to have come to Indiana (to stay?) and with it I always start grabbing for my crock pot breakfast recipes– specifically oatmeal. We LOVE our Apple Cinnamon Overnight Oatmeal and make it all the time.

Psst… here is a great video of that recipe:

But a while back I got to thinking about what if I tried a Peaches and Cream Overnight Oatmeal in the crock pot instead…

So over the last couple months I have been developing and testing out an overnight oatmeal version and finally have found one that we absolutely love.

Peaches and Cream Overnight Oatmeal {Crock Pot}

A Few Notes:

• Like I said, I have tested several ways to make this– but the one below is my very favorite. You can make this with canned peaches, but I highly recommend making it with fresh or at least frozen.
• You can also make this with regular cream cheese, but again, I highly recommend using the whipped cream cheese for a better end result.
• Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES should you use old fashioned or quick oats, this recipe requires Steel Cut Oats… they take longer to cook and handle the long cooking time much better than other kinds of oats.
• We use a heat-safe bowl inside our slow cooker and pour water on the outside of the bowl to help the oatmeal cook evenly. This method always gives us great results and no burning. Do not add water more than halfway up the outside of the bowl or the cooking water will boil over into your delicious oatmeal and create a dreadful mess.

 Slow Cooker Recommendations

I have used about every one of my 6 qt slow cookers with the heat-safe bowl inside for this recipe. The bowl is not only perfect for this recipe, but it will also be great for other recipes where you need to reduce the size of your crock or cook items like breads and desserts.
