Ingredients
- 1 cup Steel-cut oats
- 3 cups Water
- 1 cup Milk (or non-dairy alternative)
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 cup Chopped nuts (optional)
- 0.25 cup Dried fruit (optional)
- 0 Fresh fruit or toppings (optional, for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Spray the inside of your crock pot lightly with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 2
Add the steel-cut oats, water, milk, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt to the crock pot. Stir to combine.
Step 3
If you're using optional ingredients like chopped nuts or dried fruit, add them now and gently stir again.
Step 4
Cover the crock pot with its lid and set it to cook on LOW for 7-8 hours (overnight is ideal).
Step 5
In the morning, give the oatmeal a good stir. If the consistency is too thick for your liking, you can stir in a splash of milk or water to adjust.
Step 6
Serve warm in bowls, and top with your favorite fresh fruit, nuts, or additional toppings if desired.
Step 7
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat with a splash of milk or water before serving.
