Alton Brown's recipe for Overnight Oatmeal:

1 cup steel cut oats
1 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup dried figs, chopped
4 cups water
1/2 cup half-and-half

In a crock-pot, combine all ingredients and set to low heat. Cover and let
cook for 8 to 9 hours.

Stir and remove to serving bowls. This method works best if started before
you go to bed. This way your oatmeal will be finished by morning.

You could use almost any dried fruit: blueberries, cherries, apricots, you
name it.
