Breakfast to go (I love my rice cooker)

I have to be out the door for work at 5 a.m. - which means preparing a healthy breakfast before work doesn't happen. Recently, I've started making this, and packing it to go (usually eating it when I get hungry around 7).

You need:
- a rice cooker
- 1/2 cup steel cut oats
- 1 cup water
- 1 medium apple, cut into tiny cubes
- a pinch of cinnamon

Put all the ingredients in the rice cooker the night before, and wake up to find breakfast made.
Sometimes I add flax seeds, sometimes honey, you could switch up the fruit... this can be re-worked in so many ways.

    YUM!! I have a cheap rice cooker, I wonder if it will still work. I have heard of making crock pot oatmeal the night before too. Oatmeal also freezes well, you can make little discs in a silicone mold and pop them out into a baggy to take to work.

    Do you put water in there at all, or just the apple?
    Also, (might be a stupid question) are you starting it at night and just letting it stay on warm all night, or do you start it in the morning?

    Oh yeah, I put 1 cup water in too (original post now updated).
    And I start it at night because I try to have as little as possible to do in the morning... all in all it takes about 15 minutes to cook.
