- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt

Directions
Step 1
Lightly grease the inside of your crockpot with cooking spray or a small amount of butter to prevent sticking.

Add the steel-cut oats, milk, water, maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt to the crockpot.

Stir everything together until well combined.
Step 4
Secure the lid and set the slow cooker to low heat. Let the oatmeal cook for 6-8 hours, or overnight.
Step 5
Once cooking time is complete, give the oatmeal a good stir to achieve a creamy consistency.
Step 6
Serve warm with your choice of toppings, such as fresh fruit, nuts, seeds, or a drizzle of extra maple syrup.
