Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 cup steel cut oats
- 3 1/4 cups water
Instructions
- Program outlet timer to turn mini crockpot on 3 hours prior to breakfast time. Turn crockpot to "Low" setting.
- Pour in oats and water and replace crockpot top. Go to sleep.
- At breakfast time, give oats a good stir and add desired flavorings. Enjoy!
Notes
Water to oatmeal ratio is roughly 3:1. I add the additional 1/4 cup of water as a safeguard to prevent sticking to the bottom.
Oats should cook a minimum of 3 hours in the slow cooker. They can cook on low heat longer if desired. A longer cooking time will produce a mushier consistency.
Add-in suggestions: honey, cinnamon, nuts, ground flax seeds, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, pumpkin pie spice, fresh apples, blueberries, strawberries
