Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup steel-cut oats
- 3 cups water
- 1 cup milk (any type)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
Instructions
Lightly grease the inside of your slow cooker with cooking spray or a thin layer of butter to prevent sticking.
Add the steel-cut oats, water, milk, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt to the slow cooker. Stir to combine.
Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set it to low heat.
Cook the oatmeal on low for about 7–8 hours, or until the oats are tender and creamy.

Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, nuts, seeds, or an additional drizzle of honey or maple syrup.
