Slow Cooker Apple Oatmeal
Description
Slow Cooker Apple Oatmeal is made by combining steel-cut oats with almond milk, diced apples, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and cloves, then simmering on low heat for eight hours in a slow cooker. This long, gentle cooking process softens the oats thoroughly while allowing the apple pieces to infuse their flavor throughout. The inclusion of maple syrup sweetens the mixture naturally and balances the spices.
The result is a warm, creamy oatmeal with tender fruit bites and a complex spiced aroma. Sliced almonds may be added on top for crunch and texture contrast. Cooking in a slow cooker frees the cook from standing at the stove and is suited for making breakfast ready in the morning.
Leftover oatmeal can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated with a splash of almond milk to restore creaminess before serving again.
Ingredients
- 1 Cup steel cut oatmeal do not substitute with any other kind
- 4 Cups almond milk unsweetened
- 3 apple cubed (I used Gala apples
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 Teaspoon nutmeg
- allspice pinch
- cloves pinch
- salt pinch
- 1/4 cup maple syrup you can use honey if you'd like
- almonds for topping (optional, sliced
Instructions
- In a bowl, place all the ingredients together. Mix
- Spray the inside of the slow cooker with nonstick spray (don't skip this step)
- Pour all the mixed ingredients into the slow cooker
- Close the lid
- Cook on low for 8 hours
- After the hours has passed, stir with a spoon and serve
Notes
- Spray the slow cooker with nonstick spray to prevent oatmeal from sticking to the sides.
- Refrigerate leftovers; reheat with a splash of almond milk to regain creamy texture.
- Steel-cut oats must be used for the intended texture; do not substitute other types of oats.
