- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts or dried fruit (optional)
Instructions
Grease the inside of your slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray or a small amount of oil to prevent sticking.

Cover the slow cooker with the lid and set it to cook on low for 7-8 hours (overnight).
