Happy National Oatmeal Day – a holiday that is unofficially celebrated every morning on our homestead. I wanted to try something new with my oatmeal, and decided to make it in the rice cooker!  It was probably the most delicious way I’ve ever made oatmeal! 

 

I made this super tasty rice cooker oatmeal with fresh fall apples and cinnamon. And the beauty of this recipe is that it’s versatile enough to be made with any fruit of your choice: pears, mangoes, berries, or plums would all be amazing choices. Use any seasonal fruit and rolled oats, and breakfast will be ready in no time.

Try something different with your morning oatmeal, and use your rice cooker for breakfast.

What’s In This Rice Cooker Oatmeal Recipe?

Be sure to visit the recipe card below for full ingredient amounts and recipe instructions!

• Rolled Oats: I like using whole rolled oats for this recipe. You can use steel cut oatmeal too. Don’t use instant oats, as they can become mushy when cooked. Whole oats or Irish oats are best, as they have a chewy texture and nuttier flavor than quick regular oatmeal.
• Fruit: it’s fall so I had delicious fresh apples that were simple to toss in! But this recipe is versatile in that you can use any fruit you’d like!  Berries, pears, plums, or peaches would be particularly delicious.
• Cinnamon: cooks in the oats for a warm spicy flavor
• Agave nectar, or other natural sweetener
• Flaxseeds: I like to add some ground flax for fiber and the sweet nutty flavor it brings
• Pinch of salt, if desired
• Water: I used filtered tap water

The Best Oatmeal Toppings

• We love berries, walnuts, and flaxseeds to top our hot oatmeal, but here are some great suggestions.
• Maple syrup or brown sugar for added sweetness.
• Dried fruit like cranberries, raisins, chopped apricots, or dried figs- chop larger fruit into tiny pieces.
• ​Nuts or seeds – pumpkin seeds, or pepitas, are a favorite of ours.
• Honey
• Butter
• Cup of milk or cream, if desired for a rich add-in!

How to Make Oatmeal in a Rice Cooker

OK it really doesn’t get easier than this!  My rice cooker has a ‘quick cook’ mode for rice which ends up being about 30 minutes. I found that to be the perfect setting for this oatmeal, but keep in mind your rice cooker model and cooking time may vary.

1. Add the oats, fruit, and remaining ingredients to rice cooker pot, and stir well to combine.
2. Set Rice Cooker on ‘Porridge’ or ‘Rice’ or ‘Quick Cook’ mode (which ever your rice cooker model has). Oatmeal should cook for about 30 minutes. Once you’ve selected your mode, press Start.
3. Once the oatmeal is finished cooking, give it a good stir. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding extra agave or cinnamon as desired.
4. Add toppings, and serve this super creamy oatmeal hot!
