Slow Cooker Oatmeal
Who doesn't want to catch a few more z's in the morning? The main reason I get out of bed is to eat breakfast, and with slow cooker oatmeal it's already made for you!
Ingredients
- 2 cups steel cut oats gluten free if desired
- 8 cups of water
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Put the oats and water in a slow cooker and cook on low or "normal" (if using an Insta Pot) for 7 to 8 hours. If left too long a thick crust will develop around the edges of the slow cooker (totally edible, I know from pressing snooze one too many times).
- Serve with your favorite toppings. This will be plain when made with just water so experiment with some topping combinations. A fool proof combo is a scoop of almond butter, ground flax seeds, handful of berries, and a drizzle of maple syrup.
Notes
- Your particular slow cooker will determine exact cooking time.
- If you like a chewier porridge, use less water.
- I like to divide the cooked oats into individual portions and keep in the fridge for the rest of the week. Reheat in a pot on the stove, adding milk as needed to thin the oatmeal.
