Slow Cooker Oatmeal
This slow cooker oatmeal cooks overnight with apples and cinnamon so you wake up to a warm, creamy breakfast. It feeds four and stores well for several mornings of grab-and-go meals.
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 2 apples, cored and diced
- 3 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 1 cup water
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 tbsp chopped walnuts (for topping)
Instructions
- Coat the slow cooker insert with a light spray of oil to prevent sticking.
- Combine the oats, diced apples, almond milk, water, cinnamon, and vanilla in the slow cooker.
- Stir well and cover with the lid.
- Cook on Low for 4-6 hours (or use the programmable timer overnight).
- Stir the oatmeal well in the morning and add a splash of almond milk if too thick.
- Sweeten with the maple syrup and spoon into bowls.
- Top each serving with chopped walnuts and serve warm.
