Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Steel-cut oats
- 3 cups Water
- 1 cup Milk (whole or plant-based)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup or honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Cinnamon (optional)
- optional Fresh berries or nuts (for topping)
Instructions
Spray the inside of your crock pot with non-stick cooking spray or lightly grease it with butter to prevent sticking.
Add steel-cut oats, water, milk, and salt to the crock pot. Stir gently to combine.
Cover with the lid and set the crock pot to the LOW setting.
Cook the oatmeal for 7-8 hours, ideally overnight, until the oats are tender and creamy.
Once cooking is complete, stir in the maple syrup or honey, vanilla extract, and cinnamon (if using) for added flavor.
Serve warm and top with fresh berries, nuts, or any other favorite toppings. Adjust sweetness as needed.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat with a splash of milk if needed to restore creaminess.
