Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Steel-cut oats
- 3 cups Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- Optional toppings (fresh fruit, nuts, seeds, etc.)
Instructions
Lightly grease the inside of your crockpot with cooking spray or a small amount of butter to prevent sticking.
Add the steel-cut oats, milk, water, maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt to the crockpot.
Stir everything together until well combined.
Secure the lid and set the slow cooker to low heat. Let the oatmeal cook for 6-8 hours, or overnight.
Once cooking time is complete, give the oatmeal a good stir to achieve a creamy consistency.
Serve warm with your choice of toppings, such as fresh fruit, nuts, seeds, or a drizzle of extra maple syrup.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat with a splash of milk or water to loosen the texture, if necessary.
