Overnight Irish Oatmeal Recipes

EASY IRISH OATMEAL

Steps:

• In a large, heavy saucepan with a tight fitting lid, bring the water to a boil. Add the salt and stir in the oatmeal. Reduce heat to medium and cook for one minute, stirring occasionally. Turn the heat off the pot and place the lid tightly on the pot. Let the oatmeal rest for an hour. Check for doneness, if it needs more time, let it rest an additional half hour.
• Transfer the oatmeal to a storage container and refrigerate.
• When you're ready for a bowl of oatmeal, spoon into a microwave safe bowl and nuke for 1-1 1/2 minutes until hot. Dress your oats with any of the combinations mentioned above or as you like it!

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.

• 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.
