Spray the inside of your slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray or lightly grease it with a bit of oil to prevent sticking.
Add the oats, milk, water, maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt to the slow cooker. Stir well to combine.
Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours overnight, or until the oats are creamy and fully cooked.
About 30 minutes before serving, gently stir in the mixed berries, allowing them to warm through without overcooking.
Taste the oatmeal and adjust sweetness as necessary by adding a bit more maple syrup, if desired.
Serve warm, topped with additional fresh berries and a sprinkle of chopped nuts or seeds for crunch, if using.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat portions in the microwave with a splash of milk to loosen the consistency.
