Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Gluten-free steel-cut oats
- 0.5 cup Quinoa
- 0.5 cup Millet
- 4 cups Unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1 cup Water
- 3 tablespoons Maple syrup (or sweetener of choice)
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Diced apples (optional, for a fruity touch)
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional, for topping)
- 0.5 cup Dried fruit (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Rinse the quinoa and millet under cold water using a fine mesh strainer to remove any bitterness.
Lightly grease the inside of your crock pot with cooking spray or a small amount of oil to prevent sticking.
Add the gluten-free steel-cut oats, rinsed quinoa, and millet to the crock pot.
Pour in the almond milk and water, then stir to combine.
Add the maple syrup, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir thoroughly to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
If using diced apples, fold them into the mixture now for added fruitiness.
Cover the crock pot with its lid and set it to cook on low for 6 hours (or overnight for convenience).
Once cooked, give the mixture a good stir to combine all the ingredients and create a creamy texture.
Serve warm and garnish with chopped nuts, dried fruit, or an extra drizzle of maple syrup if desired.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat with a splash of almond milk to restore creaminess.
