Notes
- Steel cut oats: It's important to use steel cut oats and not quick oats or old-fashioned oats because steel cut oats hold up well to the longer cooking time.
- Almond milk: I like to use a blend of almond milk and coconut milk because it makes for creamy oatmeal. If you prefer to use different milk due to allergies, you can. However, I don't recommend using dairy milk as it can curdle in the slow cooker.
- Coconut milk: You can use canned or refrigerated coconut milk. Feel free to use all coconut milk if you prefer to omit the almond milk.
- Golden raisins: You can use dark raisins, dried cranberries, chopped dried apple, or omit the raisins.
- Spices: Feel free to adjust the spices to taste.
