Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup steel-cut oats
- 4 cups water
- 1 cup milk (optional, for creaminess)
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar (optional, for sweetness)
- 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon (optional, for flavor)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 0.5 cup raisins or dried fruit (optional, for topping)
- 0.25 cup chopped nuts or seeds (optional, for topping)
- 1 cup fresh fruit (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Grease the inside of your crockpot lightly using butter or a non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Add 1 cup of steel-cut oats, 4 cups of water, and 1 cup of milk (if using) to the crockpot.
Stir in the salt, brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract (if using) to the crockpot.
Cover the crockpot with its lid and set it to cook on LOW for 6-8 hours. Cooking time may vary depending on your crockpot, so check after 6 hours to see if the oats are done to your preferred consistency.
Once the oats are cooked, stir them well to combine any separated liquids. The texture should be creamy.
Serve the oatmeal warm, and add your preferred toppings such as raisins, nuts, seeds, or fresh fruit.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat with a splash of milk or water to loosen the consistency.
