Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Steel cut oats
- 2 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 2 cups Water
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Optional sweetener (e.g., honey, maple syrup, or stevia)
Instructions
Lightly grease the inside of a crock pot (4-quart or larger) with cooking spray or a small amount of oil to prevent sticking.
In the crock pot, combine the steel cut oats, unsweetened almond milk, water, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir gently to mix.
If desired, add the optional sweetener of your choice and stir to combine.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and set it on low heat. Cook for 6 to 8 hours, or overnight if preparing for breakfast.
After cooking, stir the oats well to ensure they are fully blended and creamy.
Serve immediately while warm. You can top with fresh fruit, nuts, seeds, or a dollop of Greek yogurt as desired.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. To reheat, add a splash of almond milk or water and microwave until warm.
