Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Rolled oats
- 4 cups Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 2 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup or honey
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional)
- 0.5 cup Dried fruits like raisins or cranberries (optional)
- as desired Fresh fruit or toppings of choice (optional)
Instructions
Spray the inside of your crock pot with a light coating of non-stick cooking spray or lightly grease it with butter to avoid sticking.
Add the rolled oats, milk, water, maple syrup (or honey), cinnamon powder, vanilla extract, and salt into the crock pot. Stir to combine the ingredients evenly.
If you’re adding chopped nuts or dried fruits, mix them into the crock pot at this stage.
Cover the crock pot with its lid and set it to 'Low' heat. Cook for 6-8 hours, ideally overnight for a convenient breakfast.
After cooking, give the porridge a good stir to ensure a creamy consistency. If the porridge looks too thick, stir in a splash of milk or water to reach your desired consistency.
Serve the oatmeal warm in bowls and top with fresh fruit, nuts, or any other preferred toppings.
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 porridge.
