Why This Dish Is Amazing
Perfect for busy mornings because it requires almost no effort. You prepare it the night before and wake up to a nutritious, creamy breakfast. It’s also very flexible, allowing you to customize flavors and toppings easily.
Directions
Spray the inside of your slow cooker with a bit of cooking spray to keep things from sticking. Then, toss in the almond milk, oats, chopped apples, raisins, walnuts, brown sugar, butter, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Give everything a good stir to combine. Cover the slow cooker and let it cook on low for about 7 to 8 hours—overnight works perfectly. When you wake up, you’ll have a warm, comforting breakfast ready to go. Give it a little stir before serving, and enjoy!

How To Store This Recipe

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular oats instead of steel-cut oats?
You can, but the texture and cooking time will differ. Rolled oats cook faster and may become mushy in 7-8 hours.
Do I need to soak the oats before cooking?
No, soaking is not necessary since the slow cooker cooks the oats slowly overnight.
Can I substitute almond milk with another type of milk?
Yes, you can use any milk you prefer, like dairy milk or other plant-based milks.
Is it okay to leave the slow cooker on low all night?
Yes, slow cookers are designed for long, low-temperature cooking and it’s safe to leave it on overnight.
How do I store leftovers and how long do they last?
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat before serving.
Can I add other fruits or nuts to the recipe?
Absolutely! Feel free to customize with your favorite fruits and nuts.
What if I don’t have a slow cooker?
You can cook the mixture on the stovetop, simmering gently for about 30-40 minutes until oats are tender.
How can I make it less sweet?
Reduce the brown sugar or omit it entirely to suit your taste.
